Overview One
You can't get any more generic than this unit. I purchased the LCD Mobile Rack from SVC.com,
but with a little work you can find it for sale under a dozen different names from a dozen different
distributors. Who is the real manufacturer? I haven't the foggiest idea. I suppose I could wrench the
unit apart and hunt down an FCC ID but it doesn't really matter. Whether you get it at SVC, Directron,
or your local electronics store it's going to be the same thing, and we really put too much stake in
names as it is.
Let's have a brief look at the specs on this rack mount:
| Product: |
Aluminum LCD Mobile Rack ATN-999 |
| Manufacturer: |
Generic/Unknown |
| HD Chassis: |
3.5" drives |
Here is a diagram included with the product which outlines the basic features and layout of the unit:
The box itself is very generic. There isn't a single indication of the manufacturer anywhere on the
packaging, just an obscure model number of ATN-999.
Same story when we look at the back of the package.
Opening the box up, we find the entire contents stored in a thin plastic case, which is by no means
an extensive level of protection, but it serves it's purpose and keeps the unit snug in the box.
Digging a little deeper, all we find in the plastic casing is the unit itself. It's a fairly
nice looking device, and my first impression was that it was a little better looking than I expected.
There is a small LCD on the front to display the temperature of the drive you have installed, as
well as the fan speed of the built-in fan. In addition to a few basic controls for selecting
farenheit/celsius, resetting the display, and changing modes, we also find a lock on the right. This lets
you lock the unit so somebody can't take off with your hard drive. Actually, you have to lock
the front in order to turn the unit on, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how responsible
you are with the keys. :)
Now let's proceed and look a little closer at the ATN-999...
