Approved mechanical drives are recommended for use only in stationary applications. Excessive vibration
or motion may cause data corruption when using mechanical drives.
PIX-CADDY
The PIX-CADDY allows for simple, quick, and solid connection and removal of drives for file stor-
age and exchange. When connected to a PIX recorder, whether powered on or off, the caddy’s USB
3.0, FireWire 800 connections are disabled. When the PIX-CADDY is removed from a PIX recorder, it
operates as a high-speed data interface for transferring files from the drive to a computer. Only one
data connection can be used at a time. See PIX-CADDY documentation for details on attaching a 2.5”
drive to the PIX-CADDY.
eSATA
An external storage device can be used instead of the PIX-CADDY. When the PIX-CADDY is re-
moved, the eSATAp is exposed. An external storage device with an eSATAp connector can be
attached to the PIX recorder’s eSATAp Connector with a standard eSATAp cable. The drive in the
enclosure must be an approved drive.
This port can be used to power an external drive via 5V eSATAp, or it can be used with powered
external enclosures using an eSATA (non-powered) cable.
