5.25 inch SATA drive enclosure

This aluminium-alloy and ABS enclosure converts a 5.25 inch internal bay into an external USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 docking station. It accepts a 5.25 inch SATA optical drive or a 3.5 inch SATA hard disk up to 8 TB. A UK three-pin power adapter supplying 12 V at 3 A is included. An LED indicator shows power and activity status.

Replaces internal 5.25 inch bays

The unit lets you use a DVD writer capable of 16 speed recording or a high-capacity 3.5 inch SATA drive without opening the computer case. The upgrade is worthwhile when a laptop or small-form-factor PC lacks an optical drive or free internal SATA ports. USB 3.0 provides up to 480 Mbps transfer bandwidth for the connected device.

Check bay depth and SATA cables

Verify that the target 5.25 inch bay has enough depth for the enclosure's upper and lower cover structure. Ensure a spare SATA data cable and SATA power connector are available inside the host system for the installed drive. Confirm the host operating system supports external SATA optical drives or hard disks over USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
