Product ID: S2510BMU33
The S2510BMU33 USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP lets you connect a 2.5in SATA III hard drive
(HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) through an available USB port. The enclosure delivers optimal
performance with a USB 3.0 connection, but is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 host connections as
well.
faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. Using a more efficient
protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP reduces latency, significantly
increasing transfer speeds and reducing processor usage to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard
drives. See our UASP testing results below for further details.
With support for SATA I/II/III, and large capacity drives (tested up to 1TB) this HDD enclosure is
compatible with virtually any 2.5in SATA hard drive, and greatly increase the
storage/backup capabilities of your computer.
