USB 3.0 2.5" HDD Case UDC-10

The future is now with the USB 3.0 2.5” Hard Disk Drive Case UDC-10. This compact enclosure allows you to turn your hard disk into an external drive, with plug-and-play convenience and portability via USB 3.0. Known as SuperSpeed—and for good reason—USB 3.0 is the newest USB standard, with connection speeds of up to 4.8Gbits. That's ten times faster than USB 2.0, meaning your large data transfers just got a whole lot quicker.

The advantages of an external drive are numerous. Enjoy added data security by storing sensitive files on the drive, and only plugging the drive in when you need access to them. Safely “offline” in the hard drive enclosure, your data is protected from corruption, spyware, and viruses.

An external hard drive is also a terrific option for archiving, and keeping your storage-hungry media in one place. Put your iTunes music collection, raw art files, ISO files, high-definition video content, and more onto the hard disk. By doing so, you'll be freeing up your computer's resources, resulting in better overall performance, quicker maintenance times, and faster downloads. Plus, your media will be portable, making for easy transfers from your home desktop to your business laptop, for just one example. You can also back up crucial files—or your computer's entire main hard drive—to your external hard drive. If your main hard drive ever fails, you have a copy, and with a USB 3.0 connection, you'll be up and running again in no time.

The USB 3.0 2.5” Hard Disk Drive Case UDC-10 features the SATA-II connector for hard drives, but it is also backwards compatible with all SATA-I hard drives. The case will also work with your computer's USB 2.0 ports. To access data with USB 3.0 speed, an available USB 3.0 port on the host device is needed. IPEVO also carries USB 3.0 Express Card UEC-12 for laptops and USB 3.0 PCI-E Card UPC-12 for desktops, should you need to upgrade to USB 3.0.
