Maxtet E-SATA & SCSI Based CD/DVD Loading Towers
Handle Up to 12 Discs at Once with Instant Access
PrimeArray’s Maxtet tower is built to simplify the way you work with optical discs. Connect it to your server, staging environment, or workstation and start uploading CDs or DVDs without hassle. By automating disc handling, it eliminates wasted time and reduces operating costs.
***Each Maxtet includes PrimeArray’s custom automation software. As soon as a disc is inserted, data is copied to your preferred destination—local or network storage—and indexed for fast retrieval. Once complete, the disc ejects automatically. Multiple drives are managed in parallel, ensuring maximum speed and efficiency.***

Exclusive Maxtet Automation Suite
Each Maxtet loader comes packaged with PrimeArray’s automation suite,
turning your desktop into a professional-grade optical disc import station.
CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are automatically copied to a storage path you define,
indexed for organization, and ejected when the process ends.
All drives in the tower can operate at the same time, letting you batch-load discs with no downtime.
Imagine combining multiple CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or Blu-ray devices into a single,
USB 3.0-connected tower. Workflows that normally take hours can now be done in minutes.
This is why businesses in healthcare, education, government, and enterprise IT
continue to rely on Maxtet for secure and efficient disc handling.
The Maxtet also offers an optional accessory: a multi-card reader compatible with a variety of card formats, including SD. It supports CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and other media types—making it a flexible addition to any disc or media server setup.

Features and Benefits of Maxtet USB 3.0 Attached CD/DVD Loaders / Multimedia Tower
FEATURE: Incorporating Blu-ray drives means one device can handle all your discs. For database uploading applications, load up to twelve discs at a time rather than loading one at a time.
BENEFIT: Save time by loading up to 12 CDs or DVDs simultaneously. Great for Multimedia storage and loading tasks.
FEATURE: There is no easier way to share a few CDs and DVDs. Simply connect the Maxtet to your computer or server by one USB 3.1 cable. Each optical drive appears as a drive letter on the workstation to which it is attached. Upgrading a certain disc is as simple as replacing the disc in the drive.
BENEFIT: It’s easy to allow other users on the network to access information stored on the CD/DVDs.
