Aluminum 2.5" SATA Enclosure

The Acasis FA-08US is a black aluminum-alloy case that turns a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive into an external USB 3.0 storage device. It ships without any drive installed. The enclosure measures 118 by 78 by 14 millimetres and weighs 80 grams. A 30 centimetre USB 3.0 micro-B cable and two screws are included.

Suits 2.5" SATA drives up to 9.5 mm thick

This enclosure accepts 2.5 inch SATA mechanical or solid-state drives with a thickness of 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 7 mm or 9.5 mm. It works with Windows and Mac systems and supports hot-swap insertion. Builders needing to install thicker 2.5 inch drives or 3.5 inch form-factor drives cannot use this model.

Maximum supported capacity 6 TB

The manufacturer states the enclosure supports drives up to 6 TB. This capacity limit is the key specification to verify before purchasing a drive for use with this case.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed can I expect from the USB 3.0 connection on the FA-08US?

The USB 3.0 micro-B interface caps at 5 Gbps; actual throughput depends on the installed SATA drive and host controller.

Does the micro-B USB 3.0 port limit the enclosure to a specific SATA speed?

The enclosure supports SATA 6 Gbps drives, but the USB 3.0 link tops out at 5 Gbps, so that becomes the practical ceiling.

Will a 9.5 mm thick 2.5-inch drive fit inside the 14 mm high aluminium case?

Yes — the FA-08US accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives up to 9.5 mm thick, leaving clearance inside the 14 mm chassis.
