Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA External Shockproof Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure Fits UASP SATA III, Black (EC-UK3B)

The external hard drive enclosure supports any standard 2.5? SATA hard disk drive and solid state drive. You can use it to effortlessly connect your internal SATA SSD or HDD to your computer through an available USB port on your desktop or laptop*.

The enclosure delivers optimal performance with a USB 3.0 connection. The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 delivers lightning-fast data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, while remaining backwards compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 host connections.

Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this external hard drive enclosure performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP reduces latency, significantly increasing transfer speeds and reducing processor usage to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives. (Note: The UASP Transfer Protocol only can accelerate read and write speed of SSD hard disk.)

Constructed of durable aluminum material, the enclosure not only looks stylish but also provides effective heat dissipation to protect your drive from overheating. The bumper warps around the aluminum enclosure, providing added protection against drops, bumps and shocks.

Plus, this unit supports hot-swappable and plug-and play functions for simple, quick installation; no drivers needed.
