USB 3.0 SATA enclosure for 2.5 and 3.5 drives
This Sabrent enclosure turns an internal SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB drive. It accepts both 2.5 and 3.5 inch form factors in a single dock. The tool-free design lets you swap disks by pressing a button, so it suits technicians and home users who move data between bare drives. No drivers are required on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Maximum capacity per bay exceeds 16 TB
The enclosure supports a single SATA drive of any capacity up to and beyond 16 TB, so large archival disks work without a capacity ceiling. Transfer speeds reach 625 MB/s over USB 3.0, limited by the drive itself, and the interface falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 when connected to older ports. An LED shows power and activity status at a glance.
Tool-free swap with included AC adapter
Installation is a matter of sliding the tray out, placing the drive on the ABS shock-absorbing tray, and pushing the tray back until it clicks. The aluminium shell aids heat dissipation and rigidity. The package supplies a USB 3.0 Type-B to Type-A cable and a 110-240 V AC adapter, so the only common issue is forgetting to connect the external power for 3.5 inch drives.

Questions about this item
What does the 625 MB/s figure mean when the enclosure is connected to a PC?
That is the peak throughput of the USB 3.0 link; actual transfer rates depend on the SATA drive installed and will be lower on USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports.
Which USB standard does the enclosure use and what speed does it limit me to?
It uses USB 3.0 with a 5 Gbps ceiling, and it falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports.
What drive sizes fit inside and how is it powered?
The tray accepts one 2.5 or 3.5 SATA drive, and the unit ships with a 110-240 V AC adapter for desktop drives.
