Scythe Officially Releases Slot Rafter

[The Edge]

Scythe Europe officially introduces the new accessory called "Slot Rafter". The Slot Rafter is a pc accessory, which is placed on an empty PCI-Slot, and it allows mounting of up to four 2,5"-drives (hdd/ssd) on one side and two 80mm-fans on the other side of the construction.

Thereby, the Slot Rafter is a blessing to everyone who gladly wants to use any empty PCI-slots with sense. With multiple combinations of fans and drives being possible, you can use the Slot Rafter in many different ways, e.g. to cool the mounted drives with the fans or to cool a graphiccard above or below the Slot Rafter. Consequently, the Slot Rafter becomes a multifunctional platform, which, if required, can store 2,000 Gb data (using four 500Gb-drives) spending very little space. Hence, at least the empty space in the case is made use of.

It is a matter of course that all kinds of 80mm-fans and 2,5"-drives are compatible with the Slot Rafter, including high- and low-rpm drives and fans as well as all data capacities. Hence, the function of the Slot Rafter can be customized very well, whether to utilize a cooling platform with two high-performance fans or a data terminal with a little extra, silent cooling is possible to implement. Combination of multiple Slot Rafters allows even more flexibility.

The Slot Rafter package includes the required installation screws and is from now on available at a recommended retail price of 4,95 EUR (excluding VAT) or US$ 7.90 (excluding TAX).

The Scythe Slot Rafter is a synthetic platform which is placed on a PCI-slot like every normal PCI-card. On the Slot Rafter, you can mount up to four 2,5"-hdds and ssds and two 80mm-fans, whereby empty PCI-slots can be used reasonably. The fans can cool the harddisks or cards like graphiccards installed above or below the Slot Rafter. Mounting fans and harddrives is very easy and does not require any further knowledge. Needed screws are included in the package.
