The S358BU33ERM 8-bay removable hard drive enclosure lets you accessÂ eight individual 2.5" orÂ 3.5" hard drives simultaneously using a single eSATA or USB port.

For fast performance and efficient data transfersÂ when connected through eSATA, the HDD enclosure supports full SATA III transfer speeds -- up to 6 Gbps. For universal compatibility, the enclosure can be connected through USB 3.0Â with transfer speeds up 5 Gbps plus support for UASP, which supports performance up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives. See our UASP testing results below for further details.

The HDD enclosureÂ supports the fastest drive technologies including SATA III (6 Gbps), hybrid drivesÂ and solid state drives (SSD), helping save you time through optimized performance from your external storage devices.

To help protect your drives the HDD/SSD enclosure has a built-in fan that keeps your drives running at optimal temperatures. Plus, the metalÂ drive trays ensure maximum heat dissipation. To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the drive enclosure is OS independent.Â

Note: In order to access multiple drives, theÂ enclosure requires that your host device supports port multiplier. For desktop computers without port multiplier capability, StarTech.com offers the 2 Port PCI Express eSATA Controller Card (PEXESATA2).

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% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.

At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.

Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP-enabled StarTech.com Enclosure, and a SATA III solid state drive.

The S358BU33ERM isÂ backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
