Features

Connect 2 High-Performance SATA Drives to Your Computer’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 PortWhen

the hard drive on your laptop is not large enough to hold all your photos, videos, music and documents,
Tripp Lite’s U457-2M2-SATAG2 is the solution to help get the storage space you need and retrieve data
stashed on old SATA drives. This dependable enclosure adapter allows you to connect two M.2 NGFF
SATA hard disk drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) to any device with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3
port, including MacBooks, Ultrabooks and Chromebooks. It supports 2.5-inch SATA III, II and I drives up
to 2 TB and will support higher capacities as they become available.
Transfers Data at Lightning-Fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds with UASP and RAID SupportThis adapter
supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, which is twice the speed of USB 3.1 Gen 1, to
give you more data storage, retrieval and backup capacity. It reads data up to 70 percent faster and writes
up to 40 percent faster when connected to a UASP-enabled host controller. Multiple RAID options give
you the flexibility to store and access data in whichever way works best for you. The enclosure is
backward compatible with previous USB generations, allowing you to use it with older equipment.
Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either DirectionUnlike traditional USB cables that connect in
only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in
either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
Just Plug and Play for Immediate Use Right Out of the PackageNo software, drivers or external power
supply is required. The U457-2M2-SATAG2 is compatible with all USB-enabled operating systems,
including Windows, Mac and Linux. Its slim aluminum case fits easily into your laptop bag, backpack or
briefcase so you can take it with you wherever you go. The ventilated housing allows a constant flow of air
that keeps the drives cool to keep them at top operating performance.
