Break out of the slow
USB 2.0 bottleneck with this USB 3.0 enclosure for 3.5" SATA hard drives.
USB 3.0 - No More Bottleneck
USB 3.0 features "superspeed" mode, allowing up to 5 Gbit/s transfer rates. This is ten times faster than the previous maximum speed of USB 2.0 (480 mbps). This means you can take full advantage of the full transfer speeds of the interface your hard drive uses -- 3 Gb/s for SATA -- so USB is no longer the bottleneck. This means that with USB 3.0, it is essentially like having the hard drive installed inside your computer hooked directly to the motherboard.
This product is backwards compatible with USB 2.0
This enclosure can accept both 3.5" and 2.5" HDD but is designed for 3.5".
