Dual Bay SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure - 2 Bay USB 3.0 RAID 3.5in HDD Enclosure
StarTech ID: SAT3520U3SR
The SAT3520U3SR USB 3.0 RAID Enclosure turns two 3.5" SATA (SATA I, SATA II, SATA III) hard drives into an
external RAID array through a USB 3.0 connection. Large capacity drives (tested with up to 4TB per bay) can be
used to greatly enhance your computer storage/backup capabilities.
Whether it's greater capacity or data redundancy you're looking for, this USB 3.0 dual drive enclosure is the solution,
with built-in support for multiple RAID modes (RAID 0, 1, JBOD) which enables the enclosure to fit the role you need.
The drive enclosure also supports non-RAID operation, so both drives can be used independant.
Compliant with the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specification, which can provide up to 5 Gbps of data bandwidth (10x
more than USB 2.0), the SAT3520U3SR RAID enclosure makes it easier and faster to transfer or stream large
amounts of data. Although the dual drive enclosure will perform at peak speeds when connected to a USB 3.0 host
computer, it is also more than suitable for use with older systems, as it is backward compatible with USB 2.0
connections.
The SAT3520U3SR Dual Drive USB 3.0 RAID Enclosure is backed by our 2-year manufacturer's warranty and free
lifetime technical support.
Applications
Business applications that require external RAID storage for data redundancy
Scenarios requiring easy storage transferability between different computer systems and large volume
