This enclosure has been designed to house a standard 2.5-inch laptop SATA drive. There is a standard USB port for connecting to your laptop.

The problem with an ordinary external hard disk is that anyone can plug it into a computer and read its contents. And the problem with some systems that encrypt information on disks or flash storage devices is that they usually need Windows-only software to run on the computer you're connecting the drive to before they can be unlocked.

This particular enclosure offers a lot of punch. You can choose from RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 and fill up four empty sleds for a possible total of 3TB. It also comes with a fast multi-lane SATA II cable that connects the enclosure to your workstation.
