  • 5″ SATA drives fit the aluminium enclosure

  • Aluminium body dissipates heat without external power
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts
  • Includes leather case, screwdriver and data cable

2.5" SATA Enclosure for Portable Storage

This aluminium enclosure turns a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB 3.0 device. It draws power directly from the USB connection so no separate adapter is required. The package includes a screwdriver and a leather carry case for easy transport.

Aluminium Build with Tool-Free Access

The alloy body acts as a heatsink to keep the drive cooler during extended use. A supplied screwdriver secures the drive tray inside the 12.8 cm by 7.5 cm by 1.3 cm chassis. USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatibility lets the enclosure work with almost any computer port.

5 Gbps Interface and 2 TB Practical Limit

The USB 3.0 link tops out at 5 Gbps so sustained transfers will not exceed that ceiling. The manufacturer rates the enclosure for drives up to 2 TB even though the spec sheet also mentions 3 TB. Older operating systems such as Windows 98 and Mac OS 8.6 are supported but modern TRIM or UASP features are not guaranteed.
