Super fast Data Transfers, True USB 3.1 raid drive
Using XPS 8930, 2xSSDs in Raid 0, large files; Write all day long at 500MB/sec, read 700MB/sec the limited only by the desktop. Excellent external Raid enclosure for two SATA drives.
Worked great for a lil bit
Bought this a few months ago, almost a year and it worked great. Now it does not show up when I plug it in no matter what I do with it. (Windows 10, Windows 11). At first every time I plugged it in my mouse cursor would creep all over the screen. As soon as I unplugged this device my cursor would go back to normal. THERE ARE NO DRIVERS THAT I CAN FIND!
We apologize that this drive enclosure is not working as expected on your Windows device. This is not expected behaviour for this enclosure. One of our technical advisors will be reaching out to offer assistance.
Loosing data between PC's
I have been using S3520BU33ER for many years between home and work as common drive. I bought a S252BU313R and fitted 2TB hard drives. If I work at home and then take the hard drive to work the next day, the files created at home show but will not open and then promptly disappear. They cannot be seen on my home or work PC-gone. I even bought a new DELL for home, thinking it might be the PC, and the same thing happens. I have lost all confidence in the product. Is it hardware, firmware, TRIM?
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our S252BU313R. We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulty with S252BU313R as this is not expected behavior for our enclosure. Our Technical Advisors will be reaching out to you shortly.
