The SAT3540U3ER 4-Drive USB 3.0/eSATA to 3.5" SATA RAID Enclosure is a high-performance external RAID storage solution that supports up to 4 high capacity (tested with up to 4TB per bay) 3.5-inch SATA hard drives over a USB 3.0 or eSATA connection.
The 4-bay RAID enclosure can be connected to the host/source computer through USB or eSATA and automatically builds your SATA RAID array based on your selection (Spanning, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0, RAID 3, and RAID 5 supported), delivering a simple, yet flexible external storage solution.
