5.25” USM Storage Bay with 2.5” SATA USM / USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure
Product ID: S2510U33RUSM
The S2510U33RUSM USM Removable Storage Bay and Enclosure turns a 5.25" front computer bay into a
hot-swappable USM interface for you to connect a 2.5” SATA hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), using the
included USM enclosure. Both the bay and enclosure are compatible with Seagate GoFlex and other USM interface
devices, and support SATA III transfer speeds up to 6.0 Gbps.
USM (Universal Storage Module) is a portable drive standard that interfaces with SATA and enables you to hot-swap
drives between multiple host devices, such as PCs, notebooks, DVRs and many others.
Using the included USM to USB 3.0 adapter, the enclosure can also be connected externally to non-USM host
devices via USB. Plus, with support for UASP, the enclosure performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB when
paired with a UASP-enabled host controller, to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives. See our UASP
testing results below for further details.
For even more versatility, StarTech.com offers the S2510U33USM, an additional 2.5in USM SATA Hard Drive
Enclosure, which offers the option to swap multiple drives in and out of the main computer as needed.
The USM removable hard drive bay interfaces with SATA, and can be mounted into any 5.25" front bay, to provide a
hot-swappable mobile rack. The bay features push-button ejection allowing drives to easily be installed and removed
from the computer system, providing a convenient method of creating backups that can then be removed for safe
keeping, archiving or external portable access.
To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the S2510U33RUSM supports all of the leading operating
systems, including: Microsoft Windows (8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2008/Server 2003), Apple OSX (10.9/10.8/10.7/10.6),
Linux, and Google Chrome OS.
The S2510U33RUSM is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac (OSX 10.8 or above), and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70% faster
read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.
At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.

Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a
SATA III solid state drive.
