Product Description

The RCT-A3U-U3 3.5" USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure is designed for users who need to turn a compatible internal 3.5" SATA hard drive into an external storage device.

It supports hard drives up to 12TB, making it suitable for desktop backup storage, media libraries, document archives, file transfers, and repurposing existing SATA hard drives. This is especially useful for users who want extra storage without installing a drive inside a desktop computer.

The enclosure uses USB 3.0 connectivity with transfer support up to 5Gbps, helping provide fast access to stored files when used with compatible USB 3.0 devices and cables.

Because 3.5" desktop hard drives require more power than smaller portable drives, the RCT-A3U-U3 includes an external 12V power adapter for stable operation. The enclosure supports 5V DC and 12V DC operating power.

The RCT-A3U-U3 supports Windows, Linux and macOS, making it a flexible storage accessory for different computer environments.
