Together these solutions, announced at Macworld Expo in January, deliver the speed, storage capacity and flexibility needed to power mobile video production applications to new levels of effectiveness and productivity.

A compact, hot-swappable enclosure to deliver storage without limits
The SeriTek/2EN2 is a dual bay external enclosure that utilizes the very latest technology to reach a blistering top transfer rate of up to 3.0Gbs.  With performance surpassing that required for most video work, the enclosure's hot-swap capability erases the limits of storage, as capacity is only limited by the number of drives a user has available. In a matter of minutes or less, a drive is easily slid out of the SeriTek/2EN2 and another slipped into place, all without restarting or rebooting the system.

To assist customers in maximizing their productivity and obtaining maximum benefit from their FirmTek solutions, FirmTek offers drive trays for $22.99 each, without any additional purchases required.  This enables customers to keep an unlimited number of drives on hand and ready for action.
