HDD / SDD

Product ID: S251SMU33EP

The S251SMU33EP USB 3.0 / eSATAp drive enclosure turns a 2.5in SATA hard drive (HDD) or solid state

drive (SSD) into an external portable hard drive that can connect to any USB or eSATA-enabled computer

system.

For fast performance and efficient data transfers when connected through eSATA, the enclosure supports

full SATA III transfer speeds -- up to 6 Gbps. For universal compatibility, the S251SMU33EP can be

connected through USB 3.0 with transfer speeds up 5 Gbps plus support for UASP, which delivers

performance up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 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.

Designed for maximum portability, the S251SMU33EP doesn't require an external power adapter when

connected to an eSATAp (USB + eSATA combo) host port.
