Designed for professional data centers, media studios, and demanding enterprise environments, the Promise Drive Enclosure delivers expansive storage with a robust, scalable 12Gb/s SAS host interface. With 16 hot-swappable bays in a compact 3U rack-mountable chassis, this enclosure is purpose-built to grow your storage footprint without sacrificing reliability or performance. Whether you’re expanding a server room, building a high-capacity backup solution, or provisioning a media editing suite, this Promise enclosure combines JBOD versatility with an enterprise-grade backbone for dependable, flexible storage expansion.
- The Promise Drive Enclosure provides a turnkey, scalable storage expansion path with 16 x HDD bays in a 3U rack-mountable frame, making it an ideal backbone for data-intensive workloads. Its 12Gb/s SAS host interface ensures high-bandwidth connectivity to your server or storage controller, enabling fast data transfer and efficient throughput across all drive bays. In Non-RAID JBOD mode, you can present each drive to the host as an independent unit, giving software-defined storage teams precise control over tiering and data placement while maintaining simplicity and direct access to every disk.
- Designed for reliability and uptime, the enclosure supports hot-swappable hard drives and front-access bays for quick maintenance without powering down critical systems. This means you can replace a failed drive with minimal interruption to operations, perform ongoing capacity expansion, and maintain a continuous data workflow—an essential capability in video production pipelines, backup archives, and surveillance environments where downtime is costly.
- With exhaustive compatibility and flexible deployment, the Promise enclosure accommodates a wide range of 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, ensuring you can tailor storage density and performance to your exact needs. The JBOD configuration lets you leverage software RAID, filesystems, or virtualized storage layers on your host while the enclosure remains a simple, reliable carrier for your disks. This level of flexibility makes it easy to adapt to evolving workloads and business requirements.
- Built for rack-ready integration, the 3U form factor aligns with standard 19-inch racks, maximizing space efficiency in server rooms and data centers. The chassis includes front-panel indicators and accessible drive bays, streamlining system monitoring and maintenance. Whether you’re deploying multiple enclosures in a row or pairing one with a high-performance SAS controller, the 3U design ensures clean cable management and straightforward expansion as demand grows.
- Operational efficiency and performance are enhanced by thoughtful engineering that minimizes latency and sustains throughput across all 16 bays. The 12Gb/s SAS host interface provides ample bandwidth to support data-intensive tasks, while the non-RAID JBOD setup eliminates the performance overhead of RAID processing on the enclosure itself. This lets your host-based controller or software-defined storage stack optimize data layout, replication, and fault tolerance according to your unique architecture.

how to install Promise Drive Enclosure
- Prepare a standard 19-inch equipment rack and locate an appropriate 3U space with adequate cooling and power. Mount the Promise enclosure using rack rails or brackets designed for 3U devices, ensuring a secure fit and proper spacing for airflow.
- Install up to 16 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard drives into the hot-swappable drive bays, following the drive manufacturer’s guidelines for mounting and connection. Ensure each drive is firmly seated and that you do not exceed the weight or torque specifications for the drive trays.
- Connect the SAS host cables from your server or storage controller to the enclosure’s SAS interface ports. Use high-quality, compliant 12Gb/s SAS cables and route cabling for optimal airflow and minimal EMI interference.
- Power on the enclosure and verify that the host sees the device. Use your operating system or storage management software to detect the enclosure and enumerate the individual drives in JBOD mode. If necessary, configure the host to recognize each disk as a separate unit rather than a RAID array on the enclosure.
- Perform initial drive health checks and format or partition drives as required by your storage plan. Maintain a routine monitoring process to track drive SMART data, temperature, and fan speeds to prevent failures and ensure sustained performance over time.
- Document your JBOD deployment strategy and integrate with your existing backup, virtualization, or storage virtualization layer. If you plan to implement software-defined storage or a RAID array on top of JBOD, configure your controller or server software accordingly and verify data integrity after setup.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is JBOD mode? A: JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) mode exposes each drive to the host as an individual disk, without enclosure-level RAID processing. This provides maximum flexibility for software-defined storage, backups, and tiered storage strategies, while letting the host manage RAID or data protection as needed.
- Q: Does this enclosure support RAID? A: The enclosure is designed for Non-RAID JBOD operation. RAID configurations, if desired, should be implemented by the host controller or software-defined storage layer outside the enclosure.
- Q: How many drives can I install? A: Up to 16 x 3.5-inch drives can be installed in the 16-drive bay chassis, enabling substantial capacity growth within a compact 3U form factor.
- Q: What kind of drives are supported? A: The enclosure is designed to accommodate 3.5-inch SAS/SATA HDDs. Always verify compatibility with your specific SKU and firmware level before purchase to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- Q: Is the enclosure hot-swappable? A: Yes. Drives are hot-swappable, allowing drive replacement or expansion without powering down the entire system, minimizing downtime in production environments.

A must read for all believers!
Practical advice on developing the higher self to command the lower self to achieve internal happiness that is not dependent on worldly outcomes. If you are an atheist then you might only benefit from the first couple chapters, some of the later chapters are more theoretical supported by logic based on holy scriptures like the Quran, Hadith, or Psalms. This is a must-read for all believers, especially Muslims! Many blessings to Al-Ghazzali, this book is one of my all-time favorites!

A letter of Gratitude to Irv Yalom for Creatures of a Day.
Format: Hardcover
Dear Irv Yalom,
This letter is a declaration of gratitude for your newly published book, Creatures of a Day, and the artful legacy you’ve bestowed upon the field of psychotherapy. In the era of fast technology and mass production, your attention to relationship and the handcrafted nature of therapy is a life line. In all of your 50 years as a psychotherapist, you didn’t sell out for clinical blueprints and formulaic approaches. Instead, you opted to stay true to what you knew--the here and now, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and your own internal thoughts and experiences as essential elements for your work with clients. Creatures of a Day waves a flag and asks us to take notice. It invites us back into the mystery of our work and reminds us to celebrate our humanness. Your masterful story telling allows us to see you and your clients in action, mistakes and vulnerabilities included, and shares pivotal moments that will provoke thoughtful learning for generations of therapists. So thank you for this.
You show us your mistakes
You see, your books (especially Love’s Executioner and Creatures of a Day) let us into your thoughts and experiences. We get to hear you talk to yourself and occasionally grapple with doubt. We get to know your own vulnerabilities and how they influence your therapeutic relationships. This is such a rare view. And I am hungry for it. There are too few books, too few videos, and fewer workshops or trainings that offer this kind of perspective for therapists. We don’t get to see masters make mistakes. We don’t get to hear supervisors or consultants narrate their doubts. So, I consider your book an invitation to write about my own similar encounters in my work. And to continue to make this kind of conversation central to my trainings and retreats for therapists. Thank you for the inspiration and the permission.
You offer central themes and an individualized perspective
As a collection of psychotherapy tales, I think of Creatures of a Day as a series. Like a series of paintings that are created around central themes, your tales invite us to look at the existential themes of aging, death, and connectedness. And, just like a painting series, each reader will take with them a message that is individualized and of unique importance to him/her. In this way, you are truly exhibiting your art as a writer and a psychotherapist. In Creatures of a Day, two patients read the same book and take from it a very different, but beautifully applicable, message. A nurse perceives the angry words she hissed to her dying patient completely opposite of the way in which they were received by the woman she was treating. And a case that you filed away as a blunder turns out to have been a life changer that is only revealed about a decade or so later. This is a reminder to me that while we can’t predict how our art is received, we can in fact commit to creating and collaborating in the very best way we can.
You invite humanness and the art of relationship
I’d like to let you know that in addition to the invitation to write about my experience as a therapist, I welcome your permission to be human with my clients. And, with that comes a renewed dedication to knowing and experiencing what being human is for me. This means deepening my relationship with my art, continuing my work in therapy, and showing up with the same honesty and openness that you let us see in your book.
You make risk a good thing
You ask your patients to risk and use this in as a very important subject during the course of treatment. You take several risks in Creatures of a Day, and show us that risks are a vital part of being an authentic and real therapist. You show us that in your work you are just being honest and attending to your experience and the client’s experience. In fact it is more risky to be untruthful or hide than it is to show up and attend the the relationship.
You inspire me
I won’t stop practicing. You inspire me to continue to write about my own work. And in my own small way, carry your legacy forward.
Once again, thank you for your guidance, your influence, and your legacy.
Lisa Mitchell, MFT, ATR, LPC

Short book, big recommendation!
Format: Hardcover
Great book, smooth read that is not overly technical for those who aren't therapists themselves. Examines large existential questions in a digestible format with each chapter being a different real world story. Highly recommend.
