CRU DX175 SATA/SAS 6 Gbps 6TB Complete Assembly

The CRU 6550-6560-0500 is a complete drive assembly that lets you store and move large volumes of data with confidence. It accepts either SATA or SAS drives and runs at speeds up to 6 Gbps, so transfers feel quick even when you are working with multi-gigabyte video clips or extensive research datasets. With 6 TB of capacity available, the assembly provides plenty of room for project files, backups, or virtual machine images.

Because the carrier and frame arrive as a matched set, installation is straightforward. Slide the frame into an open 5.25-inch bay on a desktop workstation or a rack-mounted server, secure it with the screws provided, and you are ready to load a drive. The carrier latches firmly, yet it releases with a simple lever when you need to swap or archive a disk.

This assembly fits naturally into environments where data mobility matters. A field videographer can capture footage on location, remove the drive, and hand it to an editor back at the studio. An IT team can rotate drives for off-site backups without taking the server offline. Researchers who process large data sets can move drives between lab machines and high-performance clusters with minimal downtime.

The chassis weighs about 2.6 lb and measures roughly 5.75 × 6.77 × 1.61 inches, so it sits solidly in a bay yet is still easy to handle during swaps. The metal housing protects the drive from everyday bumps, and the integrated connectors are rated for thousands of insertions, which helps maintain reliable performance over time.

Whether you manage creative assets, safeguard critical business records, or shuttle test data between systems, the CRU 6550-6560-0500 delivers a practical blend of speed, capacity, and durability.
