2.5-inch SATA USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C Enclosure

This enclosure connects a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a host with a USB Type-C port. It accepts drives of 7 mm or 9.5 mm height and supports capacities up to 4 TB. The JMS576 controller delivers a 5 Gbps link speed. A 0.5 m USB-C-to-C cable is included in the box.

Suitable for adding external storage to laptops

Users who want a lightweight, tool-free way to reuse an existing 2.5-inch SATA drive will find this enclosure practical. Smart sleep spins the drive down after inactivity to save power. Builders who need to install M.2 or 3.5-inch drives cannot use this model. Systems without a USB Type-C port will require a different adapter or cable.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C interface at 5 Gbps

The single specification that determines compatibility is the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C connection running at 5 Gbps. Your host must provide a USB-C port that supports this standard to achieve the rated throughput. Drives larger than 4 TB are not officially supported by the bridge controller.
