Compact in size but big on performance, this dual-bay enclosure provides powerful external data storage, with ultra-fast data transfer speeds and configurable RAID modes. It?s ideal for small business and home office applications, or top-performing workstations for graphic designers, engineers and other business professionals.
High-capacity storage in a compact design
Create a high-capacity, external data storage solution with support for two 2.5? SSDs/HDDs in a wide range of sizes from 5 to 12.5mm. Tested for compatibility with capacities up to 4TB at 7200 RPM, this aluminum enclosure delivers fast file transfer rates with USB 3.1 Gen 2 performance. It supports SATA I, II and III and is enhanced with UASP to maximize the performance and speed of your SATA III drives. It even has a fan, with built-in speed control, to keep things running smoothly.
Harness the speed of USB 3.1 Gen 2
USB 3.1 Gen 2 gives you greater bandwidth and speed, supporting transfer rates of up to 10Gbps - twice the speed of USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) technology. It lets you leverage the high performance of the latest SSDs and hard drives while alleviating bottlenecks in your data transfers.
Includes two USB cables for versatility
The dual-bay drive enclosure comes with two USB cables for flexible use with the latest laptops and tablets equipped with a USB-C™ port, as well as legacy devices. It includes both USB-C to Micro B and USB-A to Micro B cables. The 2-bay enclosure is also compatible with a Thunderbolt™ 3 USB-C port.
Achieve enhanced performance through RAID
Through RAID 0 support, the dual-bay enclosure lets you maximize the performance of your SATA III SSDs to achieve greater file transfer speeds. The dual-bay enclosure also supports RAID 1, Big (Spanning or Concatenation) and JBOD. With multiple RAID options, you can gain increased storage size, performance, or redundancy.
The enclosure is OS independent, requiring no additional software or drivers. The S252BU313R is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

RoHS compliance The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant product is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in several plastics. For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. In the EU, some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance. | |

Performance | |
Data transfer rate Rate at which data can be transferred. Usually expressed in units per second. May vary with network configurations. | 10 Gbit/s |
Chipset Set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance. | ASMedia - ASM1352R |
