A really nice compact and very reserved design. This is the only drive enclosure I could find that fit 2.5" HDDs and SSDs, with SATA 3 and USB3. Very please with this, coupled with two WD red dives it very fast and runs very cool. The only improvement I would make would be to add a quick release/open latch rather than screw entry.

Painfully slow with RAID 0

Bought this enclosure to use as a RAID 0 large storage option. Unfortunately it is slower than the base drives by an order of magnitude (14-16MB per second throughput). do not purchase it if you are going to use it for RAID 0.

Thank you for your feedback on S252BU33ER. We're sorry for the slow speeds you're seeing and would like to help. There are some factors that could affect how fast your transfers go including how the data is being written on the drives, other operations going on your computer, the speed of the USB port the enclosure is connected to, and others. This, however, may not account for the speeds you're seeing. We recommend contacting us directly so that we can find out the problem and get your setup working as intended as quickly as possible. You can reach our Technical Advisors 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, at 1-800 265-1844 or www.startech.com/chat.

Great Drive But Doesn't Work with 5TB 2.5" Drives

I bought this last week. It's a nice case - compact, light, bus-powered, USB 3.0, takes 15mm 2.5" drives - exactly what I was wanting. Alas, it does not work with 5TB Seagate Barracuda 2.5" drives - and this was not obvious on the Amazon product page. I realise now that it has only been tested with 2TB drives. Gutted! Will there be a firmware update for it that will allow it to use 5TB drives?? I hope so!
