Two-bay SATA enclosure for 3.5 and 2.5 drives

The Wavlink RapidFire H2R holds two SATA hard drives or SSDs in 3.5 or 2.5 inch form factors. Each bay accepts up to 22TB, giving a total of 44TB. It connects via a USB-C port running at 10Gbps and works with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, Harmony OS and iPad OS on computers, phones or tablets with USB-C or USB-A ports.

Tool-free trays with automatic cooling

Drives slide into the trays and are secured with the included screws; 2.5 inch drives need separate 2.5 to 3.5 mounting brackets that are not supplied. Dual built-in fans start automatically at 48°C. RAID mode is set by a hardware switch with Normal, Large, RAID 0 and RAID 1 options; changing the mode erases all data on the installed drives, so a backup is essential before switching.

Verify host port and drive preparation

The 10Gbps speed requires a host USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2; slower ports will limit performance. New, unformatted SSDs must be partitioned before the operating system can recognise them. The enclosure enters sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity and supports hot-swap drive changes without powering down the host. Up to three units can be daisy-chained.

Questions about this item

How do I know the enclosure is operating correctly after I connect it?

The dual fans spin up automatically at 48°C, the front LEDs show drive activity and RAID status, and your host device lists both SATA drives at up to 10Gbps over the USB 3.2 Gen 2 link.

What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?

The package includes the dual-bay enclosure, power adapter, USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-A cable, two screwdrivers, mounting screws and a quick-start guide; 2.5″ drives need separate 2.5″-to-3.5″ brackets which are not included.

Which RAID mode should I pick for maximum usable capacity versus data safety?

RAID 0 combines both bays for up to 44TB total space with no redundancy; RAID 1 mirrors the drives for protection but halves usable capacity to 22TB; Large spans drives sequentially and Normal treats them as independent volumes.
