Item Description

The USB 3.0 port of this external enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDDs makes superfast data transfer possible. That's because USB 3.0 has a

tenfold bandwidth compared to USB 2.0 and even a good advantage against SATA. The ICY BOX IB-250StU3-B accomplishes the superfast

data-transfer rates in connection with a host and a cable which are USB 3.0 compatible too. If the host PC is not equipped with a USB

3.0 controller our adapters for the PCI slot or the express-card slot are fine alternatives (ICY BOX IB-AC604 or IB-AC605). As USB 3.0 is

downwards compatible the ICY BOX IB-250 StU3-B cooperates also with conventional USB 2.0 devices providing the USB 2.0 bandwidth.

Thus this ICY BOX can be the first stepping stone into the faster USB 3.0 future.


 
Note
 

IB-250StU3-B is also working through a USB 3.0 cable or USB 2.0 cable with computer/notebook with USB 2.0/1.1 interfaces. You can upgrade your computer/notebook with a USB 3.0 PCI-card (eg ICY BOX IB-AC604/605).

USB 3.0 has a 10 times higher bandwidth as USB 2.0 (5 Gbit/s to 480 Mbit/s) and theoretically 10 times higher transfer rate. In practice, the transfer rate is limited by the slower SATA interface of the hard drive (3 Gbit/s).
    Features:
  • Compact aluminium case with pouch
  • Supports 2.5" SATA HDD
  • USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbit/s
  • Downwardly compatible with USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) and 1.1
  • Supports Windows XP/Vista/7
