Introduction
The StarTech.com USB 3.0 to SATA external hard drive enclosure allows
almost any standard 3.5-inch internal SATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to be
made into a cost-effective external SuperSpeed USB 3.0 hard drive. With
data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (10 times faster than USB 2.0), speed is
no longer compromised for convenience, ease of use or portability. The
USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure is backward compatible with USB 2.0, making
it more than suitable for use with computers that don’t yet have USB
3.0 ports. Constructed of sturdy, light-weight aluminum and no fans,
the enclosure offers optimal and quiet cooling for even current, high-
capacity hard drives - an ideal external storage solution that is backed by
a StarTech.com 1 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. The
SAT3510U3VP/SAT3510U3PGB models include a PCI Express (PCIe)
based USB 3.0 card, for desktops not already equipped with USB 3.0.
