In this day and age, when storage devices are quickly running up the read-write speed curve, high-speed connectivity is important when externally connecting those devices to computers. How would you like some Firewire 400, 800, and USB3.0 connectivity on your hard drive rack?
Stage racks are quickly becoming popular all over the world. They leave your hard drive exposed and cut down on the time and effort and technical skills required to hot-swap those storage units. So if your stage rack can push data at 131MB per second, the time it takes you to finish backing up your files or watching your collection of movies becomes that much faster!
