Acasis DT-S2 Dual-Bay USB 3.0 Enclosure

The Acasis DT-S2 is a two-bay aluminium enclosure that accepts 2.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs. It connects through a USB 3.0 interface rated at 5 Gbps and includes a hardware RAID switch for RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD and SPAN modes. An external AC adapter powers the unit and the package supplies a USB cable, screwdriver, screws and a manual.

Suits desktop users wanting hardware RAID without

This enclosure suits users who want hardware RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD or SPAN on a desktop without installing an internal controller card. It is not for buyers who need more than two drive bays or who require a single-drive capacity above 2 TB per bay.

USB 3.0 5 Gbps interface with SATA drives

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 connection delivering up to 5 Gbps to two SATA drives. If your workflow demands a faster host link or a different drive protocol, this enclosure will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What drive height and interface does each 2.5-inch bay accept?

Each bay takes a 2.5-inch SATA I, II or III hard drive or SSD up to 2 TB per drive.

How do I set the RAID mode before the enclosure is recognised by the operating system?

Power off the unit, slide the hardware RAID switch to the desired mode — RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD or SPAN — then power on; the mode is fixed until you power down and change the switch again.

The aluminium body acts as a heatsink — does it need any active cooling or periodic cleaning?

No fan is included; the aluminium chassis dissipates heat passively, so just keep the vents clear of dust and ensure airflow around the enclosure.
