MediaBank MT, like all external peripherals from Miglia, is made out of solid aluminium (Al). We did not choose the easier lower-quality but traditional route of plastics. The case is 1.8mm thick and the
5 mm front plate is machine-milled out of a solid block of aluminium. Metal also offers better protection and a much greater lifespan than plastic and whilst the cost of using metal is typically higher, how much is the data contained on your drive/s really worth?
  
MediaBank MT uses a high speed ATA-to-FireWire bridge board to ensure the best possible performance.

The bridge board used in MediaBank MT is fully
supported by compatible operating systems and does not require any third-party drivers to operate.
The bridge board supports two drives without any major impact on performance.

 
 

MediaBank MT features a single ball-bearing fan placed on the side of the drive bay that provides efficient cooling, while maintaining noise levels to a minimum.
The airflow is more than sufficient to keep two 7200 rpm drives running cool during long data transfer
sessions.
 
MediaBank MT closely follows the standards set by Kensington for the K & Lock system, the industry leading anti-theft mecanism for IT equipment.
To secure MediaBank, simply connect your K & Lock cable to the back of MediaBank.

 
 

Ever been annoyed by a power button located at the back of one of your peripherals? On MediaBank
MT, it is located at the front of the unit and is easily accessible.
 
To give best protection against shocks to your hard drives is provided by the anti-shock mounts.

 
 

• Compatible with ATA/3 to ATA/5 hard drives (up to 120 GB - Maxtor drives with a capacity higher than 120 GB are also compatible)

MediaBank MT uses an external power supply to keep the size of the case down and removes the need for added cooling. Less cooling means less noise.
