The gray Drop-Front Archival Storage Box from Archival Methods protects and stores digital and photographic prints, matted or not, within its 1.5" deep hinged box. The box is constructed from heavyweight, archival-grade boxboard that has a matte-laminate coating for water resistance. Removing the box top reveals a hinged drop-front panel on the front long side so you can safely insert, remove, or examine contents in the the bottom section of the box.

The metal-reinforced corners of the box top are treated with a black polyester coating and a wax-free polyester finish, to be anti-corrosive. The clamps give rigidness and strength to the box so you can stack multiple boxes on top of each other. The box is PAT passed, which means it is suitable for long-term storage.

Q: 2. Will it work with a 6TB hard disk? In the product information you say that the RocketStor 5212 max. drive capacity per bay is up to 4TB. But HighPoint website says the dock max. drive capacity per bay is up to 8TB, and even it has no capacity limitations. I am a little confused. Could someone please solve my doubt?. Thank you.

A: I ordered one after reviewing their website. I use 6TB and 8TB drives in my USB3 docks and expect them to work just fine in the RS5212. I also expect that higher capacity drives will be supported as they are made available. Use any Drive: Future proof-storage upgrades! The RocketStor 5212 benefits from HighPoint's persistent compatibility testing, which ensures full compliance with all current and upcoming SATA storage devices. The RocketStor 5212 is fully compatible with any off-the shelf SATA drive; from ultra high-capacity 8TB hard drives to blazing fast 6Gb/s SSD's!

Q: 5. Would it be practical to connect this to a mac mini being used as a media server? The 500 GB drive in the Mac Mini is inadequate for my iTunes library and Video_TS files, but I don't want to pay several hundred bucks for a regular Thunderbolt external drive/enclosure.

A: Yes, this would work well with you're mac mini. However you would still need to buy the hard drives to dock into the rocketstor, as this is only an interface device. I have found it has worked with with all the SATA drives I have docked into it and have yet to run into any problems. And the transfer rate between the machine and the dock is superb. I do a-lot of video editing on our machine's and by using the dock I no longer have to copy the source material to the internal Hard drive and can edit the material direct on the drive I have docked. I hope this is helpful
