Introduction

The SAT3520U3R USB 3.0 to Dual 3.5in SATA Trayless Hard Drive Enclosure makes
adding fast external storage easy, by turning any two 3.5in internal SATA hard
drives into an external hard drive. Featuring a trayless system that eliminates having
to mount and fasten the hard drive into the enclosure or tray, for quick and easy
installation or removal.

Using the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, which is up to 10 times faster than the
previous USB 2.0, makes backing up and transferring large les faster than ever, while
still being usable on older USB 2.0 systems. With built in RAID capabilities (0, 1, BIG,
JBOD), the two drives can be combined for speed, redundancy or capacity or even left
as separate drives for whatever your situation needs.
