SKU CH-DBKS-BXB6D

  • Switch OS drives without rebooting
  • Hardware buttons need no software
  • Metal panel built for DIY builds

Three-Port HDD Power Control

The SMUGDESK module lets you independently switch power to three hard drives from a single 80 mm half-height bay. It targets HTPC builders and multi-OS enthusiasts who need physical isolation between separate system disks without software or BIOS intervention.

Manual Drive Isolation

Each of the three channels has its own toggle button so you can cut power to idle drives, preventing cross-access and file conflicts between operating systems. The hardware-only design means no drivers to install, but you cannot manage drives remotely or schedule power states.

Upgrade From Software Selectors

Replaces boot-menu juggling or hot-swap trays that require a reboot to change the active OS drive. The jump is worthwhile when you run distinct Windows or Linux installs on separate disks and want instant, conflict-free switching.

Questions about this item

Will this switch module fit alongside other drives in my existing 80 mm half-height bay?

Yes, the unit is built for a standard 80 mm half-height chassis bay, so it occupies the same slot size as a typical optical or floppy drive.

How can I confirm the three power toggles are working correctly once the module is installed?

Press each button and watch the corresponding front-panel indicator; the drive spins up when the light is on and spins down when it is off.

What comes in the package and what extra cables or adapters must I source myself?

The switch module with its front-panel buttons is included; you will need to provide the drive power cables that match your hard disks and the motherboard or power-supply connectors for the bay.
