SAS/SATA drive enclosure for 2.5" and 3.5" drives

The Acasis EC-5351 connects SAS and SATA hard drives or SSDs to a computer through a USB 3.0 interface. It accepts both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors and supports drives larger than 16 TB. A 12 V/2 A power adapter and a USB-C to USB-A/C cable are included for immediate use.

Sustained transfer over USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps

The USB 3.0 link provides a 5 Gbps theoretical ceiling for continuous read and write sessions. The vertical, tool-free design keeps the drive seated securely during long copy jobs, while the external power supply delivers stable current to 3.5-inch mechanisms that draw more power than a bus-powered port can supply.

Replaces docks that lack SAS support

If your current dock only handles SATA or only fits one drive size, this enclosure adds SAS compatibility and accepts both heights in the same slot. The upgrade is worth it when you need to read enterprise SAS drives alongside regular SATA drives without swapping hardware.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 V 2 A power adapter keep a 3.5 inch SAS drive cool during all-day use?

The enclosure has no built-in fan; it relies on the vertical plastic chassis and ambient airflow to dissipate heat from the drive.

Must I supply my own drive and a host with USB-A or USB-C to use this EC-5351?

Yes, you provide the 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SAS or SATA drive; the box includes a 12 V 2 A adapter and a USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A/C cable for the host connection.

Will a legacy SATA drive work at full speed in this SAS enclosure?

The unit accepts both SAS and SATA drives and connects over USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps, so a SATA drive will operate at the enclosure's interface limit.
