StarTech S2510BPU33 2.5in USB 3.0 External SATA III SSD Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP – Portable External HDD, Black

The S2510BPU33 USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP lets you connect a 2.5in SATA III hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) through an available USB port.  The enclosure delivers optimal performance with a USB 3.0 connection, but is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 host connections as well.
Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this 2.5 Inch SATA III enclosure performs up to 70 Percent faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP reduces latency, significantly increasing transfer speeds and reducing processor usage to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives. See our UASP testing results below for further details.
With support for SATA I/II/III and large capacity drives (tested up to 1TB) this HDD enclosure is compatible with virtually any 2.5in SATA hard drive and greatly increases the storage/backup capabilities of your computer.
For added portability the USB 3.0/SATA III enclosure features tool-less HDD installation and requires no external power adapter.
To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the S2510BPU33 supports all of the leading operating systems, including: Microsofeet Windows (8/7/Vista/XP/server 2008/server 2003), Apple OSX (10.9/10.8/10.7/10.6), Linux and Google Chrome OS.
Improved Performance with UASP
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above) and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70 Percent faster read speed and 40 Percent faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.
At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80 Percent reduction in required processor resources.
Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP enabled StarTech Enclosure and a SATA III solid state drive.
