StarTech.com 2.5in SATA Hard Drive Enclosure, USB 3.0

This rugged drive enclosure redefines data protection for on-the-go professionals. The military-grade construction protects sensitive data from harsh field conditions.

Industry recognized protection
Keep your data safe and secure even through sudden downpours or dust storms. The robust enclosure provides superior water and dust resistance with an IP54 rating.

Drop tested for 4 meters (13 feet)
The external drive enclosure is encased in a silicone protective sleeve, and engineered to help protect your drive from accidental and unexpected shock, vibrations, and drops. It’s Military MIL-STD-810G rated and tested to withstand drops of up to 4 m (13 ft.). It was drop tested using a solid-state (SSD) drive in the enclosure.

Data protection inside and out
The exterior casing provides shock-resistance, while the flexible silicone sleeve hugs the entire perimeter to ensure an extra measure of protection, absorbing the impact of accidental bumps, rough baggage handling or drops. Inside, an extra layer of silicone provides added drive stability.

Tool-less drive installation
To install a 2.5" SATA III (6Gbps) SSD or HDD, remove the silicone sleeve, open the latch and insert the drive into the enclosure. Once inside the enclosure, plug the included USB cable into the computer or hub USB port. There are no screws or tools needed.

70% faster than traditional USB 3.0, with UASP
Save time in the field, by storing and transferring content quickly. Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), the enclosure performs with a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over conventional USB 3.0, when paired with a UASP host controller.
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux.

S251BRU33 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
