StarTech.com Dual-bay RAID Enclosure Released

StarTech.com’s 2.5” RAID enclosure lets users expand their laptop with high-performance storage

StarTech.com has announced the release of their latest external storage solution, a dual-bay RAID enclosure for 2.5” SATA drives (SKU: S252BU33R). The enclosure makes it easy for laptop users to expand their system storage options with the speed of solid-state drives and a single USB 3.0 host connection which is especially valuable for ultra-portable laptops that only offer a limited number of USB ports.

The new RAID enclosure takes advantage of the compact build of 2.5” SATA drives, with a small-footprint design that takes up minimal desk space. The enclosure also features USB-powered performance and features a sleek design that matches the appearance of modern laptops. An optional power adapter is included with the enclosure, for configurations requiring more power.

“With its compact design, flexible power options and excellent performance, this enclosure offers perfect external storage for both stationery workstations and mobile environment,” said Juliet Wei, Senior Product Manager at StarTech.com.
