Vintage IDE Removable Hard Drive Mobile Rack 5.25 Bay 50-Pin Tray + Maxtor 40GB:
$49.99

Vintage IDE removable hard drive mobile rack (5.25-inch bay frame + removable tray) with a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB IDE drive installed in the tray. An unusual design: instead of a plain IDE edge connector, the tray and frame mate through a 50-pin Amphenol / Centronics-style (RJ21-type) connector, so the signal runs IDE → 50-pin → IDE to the drive.

  • Frame: fits a standard 5.25-inch (CD-ROM) bay; 40-pin IDE input and 4-pin Molex DC input on the rear; rear cooling fan; front key lock and two status LEDs
  • Tray: ribbed aluminium top, fold-out handle, internal IDE ribbon and power lead to the 50-pin connector
  • Drive: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8, 40GB, ATA/133, 3.5-inch, dated October 2003 (model on the label, photo 3)
  • Unbranded; moulded markings: USA Pat. 5563767, Japan Pat. 3025779, Germany Pat. 29505578.8, Taiwan Pat. 111516, Made in Taiwan (photo 6)

Included: frame, tray and the installed drive. Not included: key, mounting screws.

Condition: Used. Came out of a working environment; last known to be fully functional. Not tested since removal, so the drive is sold with no guarantee; contents not preserved.
