ABSTRACT:
An external drive cabinet is provided with, a power connector and a data interface connector installed on the back side of the cabinet frame not on the same level but positioned in step manner, keeping a buffer space in between. Such arrangement of connectors enables one of the two connectors to make connection before the other does, thus smoothing out the plugging and unplugging processes. The tray in the external drive cabinet is equipped with a hinge joint at the rear end that is able to swing the front end of the tray upward when the handle bar of the tray is pulled up. The front panel of the hard disk stored in the drive cabinet can be completely concealed in the drive cabinet.
