2.5-inch SATA to USB 3.0 Enclosure

This enclosure converts a 2.5-inch SATA I, II or III hard drive or SSD into an external USB 3.0 storage device. It accepts standard 7 mm and 9.5 mm drives up to a 3 TB capacity. The JMS578 controller enables UASP protocol for faster data transfers. The ABS plastic shell weighs 62 grams and measures 126 mm by 81 mm by 15 mm.

Suits SATA drives; not for other interfaces

It is built for users who want tool-free, hot-swap access to 2.5-inch SATA drives on Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8, Mac OS 9.1 or 10.2. Builders needing to connect M.2, PCIe or 3.5-inch drives must choose a different enclosure type. The lightweight design helps mobile workflows but offers no RAID or hardware encryption features.

UASP support with JMS578 controller

The JMS578 chipset adds UASP support to the USB 3.0 link, raising sequential throughput by roughly 70 percent over the traditional bulk-only protocol. This single specification decides whether the enclosure can saturate a modern SATA SSD. Without UASP the drive would be limited to the older transfer path.

Questions about this item

Does the JMS578 controller generate noticeable heat or fan noise during all-day transfers?

The enclosure has no fan; its ABS plastic shell passively dissipates heat from the JMS578 controller and the 2.5-inch drive during continuous use.

What host port and cable are required for the USB 3.0 interface to work?

A USB 3.0 Type-A port on the computer and the supplied USB 3.0 cable are needed; no external power adapter is required.

Will a 9.5 mm SATA drive from a Windows 98 era laptop fit and be recognised?

Yes, the tray accepts both 7 mm and 9.5 mm 2.5-inch SATA drives, and the JMS578 chip supports Windows 98 and later systems.
