Introduction
The SAT3520U3SR USB 3.0 to Dual Bay 3.5” SATA External 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’s storage/backup capabilities. Built-in support
for multiple RAID modes (RAID 0, 1, JBOD) enables the enclosure to fit the role you
most need; whether it’s greater capacity or data redundancy. The drives can also be
configured for non-RAID operation, so both drives remain independent. Compliant
with the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specification, which can provide up to 5 Gbps of
data bandwidth (10x more than USB 2.0), large amounts of data can be transferred
or streamed faster than before. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 however, this
enclosure can still be used on older systems. The SAT3520U3SR is backed by a StarTech.
com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
