Specifications and Features

What will be fairly interesting to see is that the full sized Trooper has just about every type of interface connections for storage devices you can think of, including an X Dock station right in between the I/O panel and Multi Bay Slots for an additional 2.5 External HDD/SSD adapter.

The I/O panel has much more to tickle your senses though; two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, and one eSATA connection for multiple devices. You also stumble into a built in Fan Controller with three red LED indicators, it indicates low, medium, and high power on the connected fans.

Hidden all the way down are meshed drive bay covers and located at the bottom is actually a slide-in box to hide away all small tools, cables and screws and such.

So we already learned that the Trooper is loaded with features, let's have a look at some of them.
