Even if the SSD market is starting to swell it is still pretty hard to find SSD-friendly cases. The problem is that most computer cases don't have slots for 2.5" harddrives, which of course not only affects SSDs but also regular mechanical drives of the same formfactor. Those who are looking to install a SSD or "regular" 2.5" harddrive in a incompatible case can turn to Scythe and its new accessory.
Scythe Slot Rafter is installed in an empty expansion slot and it can hold no less than four 2.5" drives on one side and two 80mm fans on the other.
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.
The price of Scythe Slot Rafter is around $8, excluding fans or SSDs.
