The CRU RAX210-XJ is a compact, high-performance 2-bay DAS enclosure engineered for professional data storage in data centers, studios, and workstation environments. Designed to fit in a standard 1U rack, this drive array brings together robust build quality, tool-free drive insertion, and a versatile Multilane SFF-8088 interface to deliver dependable storage throughput for demanding workloads. With two 3.5" SATA drives supported, the RAX210-XJ makes it easier than ever to scale storage, backup assets, and expand your direct-attached storage footprint without sacrificing efficiency or space. Its front-loading design and TrayFree bays simplify drive maintenance and expansion, so you can focus on your work rather than hardware setup.

  • TrayFree drive bays for screwless, tool-free installation: Open the door, slide a 3.5" SATA drive into the bay, and close the door. No screws, no mounting trays, and no fuss—perfect for rapid drive replacement and ongoing maintenance.
  • 2-bay JBOD in a slim 1U rackmount chassis: A compact, rack-ready enclosure that supports up to two 3.5" SATA drives, providing flexible direct-attached storage expansion in a space-efficient form factor.
  • 6 Gb/s performance with a Multilane SFF-8088 interface: Delivers solid throughput for demanding workloads, enabling fast data transfer between hosts and drives while maintaining compatibility with a range of controllers and backplanes.
  • Front-accessible, user-friendly design: Front-loading bays and an open access door streamline drive installation, maintenance, and upgrades, minimizing downtime in busy work environments.
  • Ideal DAS solution for backups, media, and workflow acceleration: A dependable, expandable storage option for media libraries, post-production pipelines, archiving, and high-velocity backups without complex setup.

How to install CRU RAX210-XJ

  • Prepare your rack and location: Ensure you have a clean, stable 19-inch rack space in a controlled environment. Confirm the enclosure will fit in a 1U footprint and that there is sufficient airflow around the unit.
  • Mount the enclosure in the rack: Use standard rack mounting hardware to secure the CRU RAX210-XJ into the rack after aligning with the mounting rails. Tighten the screws as needed to ensure a secure, vibration-free installation.
  • Insert drives (drive bays are TrayFree): With the door open, slide each 3.5" SATA drive into an available TrayFree bay until it seats. Close the door to secure the drive. Repeat for the second drive if needed.
  • Connect cables: Attach the Multilane SFF-8088 interface cable to the appropriate host or backplane connection and route any power and data cables neatly to avoid interference with fans or doors. Ensure all connections are firm before powering the unit.
  • Power up and configure: Apply power and boot the system. If mounting as DAS, configure the host operating system to recognize the two drives. If required, initialize, format, and assign drive letters or volumes according to your OS guidelines. Verify drive health and accessibility via your host OS or management software.
  • Operational check: Confirm that both drives are recognized, health statuses are green (or healthy according to your OS), and that data can be written/read as expected. Regularly monitor through your preferred storage management tools and perform routine maintenance as part of standard data-management practices.

Frequently asked questions

  • What drives does the CRU RAX210-XJ support? It supports two 3.5" SATA drives in a 2-bay JBOD configuration. Drive capacity is determined by the drives you install, so you can mix and match capacities up to the chassis limits.
  • Is this enclosure hot-swappable? The TrayFree bays enable straightforward drive insertion and removal, providing a quick way to replace drives. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for drive replacement and data safety in production environments.
  • What interface does it use? The RAX210-XJ uses a Multilane SFF-8088 interface to connect to hosts or backplanes, delivering solid data-transfer performance for DAS workloads.
  • Is this enclosure RAID-capable? The RAX210-XJ is described as a 2-bay JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) enclosure. RAID configurations (if needed) would typically be implemented at the host controller or via a software-defined storage layer, not within the enclosure itself.
  • What form factor is it? It is a 1U rackmount enclosure, designed for data-center-grade racks and professional workstations that require compact, scalable storage within a standard rack footprint.

A Polished Leather Tote That Looks Right at Home in the Office 👜
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
This leather tote has a really beautiful, structured look that feels both classic and professional. The leather has that rich, slightly vintage finish that gives it character, and the shape holds nicely whether it’s carried by the top handle or worn with the shoulder strap. I actually got this for my daughter-in-law, who is a trial attorney and needs something that looks polished and put-together in court, and this bag really delivers that look. It’s roomy enough to carry her essentials comfortably, and the zip-top closure keeps everything secure. The interior is thoughtfully laid out with pockets that make it easy to stay organized without digging around, and the bag itself feels sturdy without being overly heavy. It works just as well for everyday use, but definitely has that elevated, professional style that makes it stand out a bit more than a typical tote. ⭐ Bottom Line: A structured, professional-looking leather bag that combines style, organization, and everyday functionality—great for work, commuting, or anyone who wants a polished look.

Real leather, soft and lightweight
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This medium sized leather tote bag is well made, with tight stitching; heavy duty, gunmetal colored hardware; and a thick, dark gray fabric lining on the inside. There are 2 short, rounded handles that do not fold down, and a narrow, flat, detachable crossbody strap that can be adjusted in length. The style is simple and classic, with a hand-dyed brown finish that will go well with most outfits. It's versatile, being suitable for work or everyday use. It can carry a small laptop or tablet, along with other essential items. There are no outside pockets, but inside there are several. The central compartment is spacious, with 2 slip pockets on one side. There are also 2 zippered pockets, with a large open pocket separating them. The top of the bag has a full, metal zipper that seems good quality. This bag is very attractive as well as functional, and though the leather feels lightweight the bag seems durable. Its listed price is a little high for my budget, but a coupon offer currently makes it a good value. I was very surprised that there is no logo or branding of any kind visible on the outside of this bag, and only one name label stitched to a pocket on the inside. Many bags I see have prominent names, symbols, or initials on the outside, and sometimes all over the inside lining as well. The simplicity of this bag is a refreshing change as it lets the quality speak for itself. I like it!

Great bag
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
This is a wonderful leather bag. It can be carried by handles or worn crossbody. It fits my 13" MacBook Pro perfectly though it doesn't have any particular padding to protect a laptop. I have a couple of nitpicks though for a bag that costs $98. 1/It's a shame that the handles can't lay down or disappear in some way when not in use. They just look a little goofy when you wear the bag across your body. And 2/the stitching is a little weird. The exterior shows the stitching for the inside pocket and I don't know that it's necessary. All in all it's a good bag but if I could return it I would consider doing so because of the way the handles stick up when worn crossbody. I do think, ultimately that's a dealbreaker for me.

This Bag Is Unbelievable - Serious Business
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
I’m a self-admitted bag enthusiast, and this one genuinely surprised me. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but the quality is immediately apparent. The leather is soft yet substantial, giving it a premium feel without seeming fragile or flimsy. The stitching is impeccable, and the front and back are cleanly designed with no unnecessary frills—just a timeless, well-constructed silhouette. It’s the kind of bag that people notice, whether you’re carrying it or someone sees it from across the room. The strap was neatly packaged inside, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I looked it over carefully and couldn’t find a single flaw. In my opinion, this is a near-perfect everyday bag and an impressive value for the quality. *** Photos are front of bag (same as back), side of bag & bottom of bag. As you can see the stitching, as well as everything else, is quite impressive. Love this bag!
