Questions about this item

How fast will a SATA drive actually run over the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C link?

The adapter is rated at 6 Gbps, matching SATA III, so a SATA SSD or hard drive can reach its native sequential speeds when connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0 port.

Does the Type-C connector require USB 3.1 Gen 1 or will it work on older USB 3.0 ports?

It is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, though transfer rates will drop to the slower port's limit.

What drive heights and form factors fit inside the transparent enclosure?

The tool-free sliding case accepts any 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD that is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick.
