Using Usb/Esata Drives Or Enclosures - Logicube Falcon-NEO User Manual




The Falcon-NEO Destination ports are hot swappable (including the PCIe ports).
Destination drives do not have to be connected in order. For example, a single SATA
Destination drive does not have to be connected to the SAS_D1 port. It can be
connected to the SATA_D4 port without having anything connected to any of the other
ports.
Any combination of drives can be connected. For example, four SATA drives, one USB
drive, and one PCIe drive can all be connected at the same time.

2.2.3 Using USB/eSATA Drives or Enclosures

It is recommended to leave the drive inside the enclosure. These enclosures may have an
on-board controller that may be necessary to read the drive properly. Taking the drive
out of the enclosure could cause any device (including computers) not to read the drive
contents properly.

PCIe_D1 – PCIe Destination port (Depending on the type of PCIe drive, the
optional PCIe kit, part number F-ADP-PCI-FN-KT may be required).
Not labeled: Four 6-pin power ports for SAS_D1, SAS_D2, SATA_D3, and
SATA_D4 that have lines corresponding to the proper data port.

Although the Falcon-NEO ports are hot swappable, some drives
are not hot swappable. Please check with the drive manufacturer
to find out if the drive being used does not support hot swapping.
Never connect a suspect or Source drive to the
Destination ports of the Falcon-NEO. Data may be
overwritten if a drive is connected to a Destination port.
