CD Towers and DVD Towers
Specifications

From Kintronics

The CD tower or rack drawer is a bunch of SCSI or IDE CD/DVD-ROM drives connected to a computer or network. They can also contain hard drives, CD-R or DVD-R drives. Take a look at the Selection chart and specifications below.

Each of the following systems provides unique functionality to meet your specific requirements. For example you can select a system that contains CD/ DVD-ROM readers, a CD or DVD-Recorder and shareable RAID hard drives. You just specify the configuration, and we will build it.

Hard Drive archiving provides an alternative to individual CD/DVD-ROM drives. The TurboCD towers use hard drives to hold the content of all your CDs. It's very economical way to provide CDs on your network, but it takes time to archive the CDs. There are three types of caching systems: Turbo, TurboPlus and SuperTurbo.

We build to your requirements. Towers and rack systems are available with up to 7, 14, 21, 28 or more CD-ROM drives or 5-Disc Changers. The towers are also available with less than the maximum number of drives. For example, 7-drive towers are available with only 4 drives installed. Additional drives can be installed very easily when required.

We also have 19-inch standard racks. These racks hold up to 56 drives and can be configured with built-in Pentium Servers. They are also available in hot-swap configurations.
