SK-2520 U3.1 The SK-2520 U3.1 is a dual-bay storage enclosure with hardware RAID, designed for two 2.5-inch SATA drives. In combination with two striped SSDs and its fast SuperSpeed USB 3.1 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface, this bus powered storage drive can deliver speeds up to around 800-900 MBps. Features Configurable hardware RAID controller Non-RAID, RAID 0, RAID 1, SPAN SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface Supports Universal Attached SCSI Protocol UASP USB power delivery provides 15W of power to compatible laptops Bus powered when external power supply is not connected Designed for two 2.5 SATA drives up to 15mm Supports SATA 6 Gbps SATA-III drives Reversible USB Type-C™ connector Durable all aluminum enclosure Fanless SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 By incorporating the latest SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 technology, the SK-2520 U3.1 is able to deliver up to twice the speed of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface which runs at only 5 Gbps. At the same time, with a corresponding USB-C™ to USB adapter cable, the device is still backwards compatible with the widely used USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 technology. Reversible USB Type-C Connector with USB Power Delivery PD The reversible USB Type-C™ USB-C connector enhances ease of use for connecting USB devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion for plug and cable orientation. When the external power adapter is plugged into the device the SK-2520 U3.1 supports power delivery PD over USB-C™, providing 15W of power to laptops like the MacBook Pro late 2016 that support charging from a 5V/3A power source. This allows you to work with the external drive without the battery levels of your laptop dropping even when the laptop is not plugged into any other power source. USB Bus Power This portable and compact USB drive can run on bus power alone without the need for an extra power adapter if the host computer provides sufficient bus power and the drive's power consumption stays below 7W per drive. An external power adapter is included if bus power is insufficient. Hardware RAID Controller With the built-in hardware RAID controller you can mirror the drives with RAID 1 as a reliable backup for your important data, stripe the drives with RAID 0 for optimal performance and maximum transfer rates or you can select SPAN to combine the drives for large storage capacities. Even individually with Non-RAID, the SATA 6 Gbps interface allows each drive to run at full SATA-III speeds. Benchmark Results will vary depending on the test environment and the drives but for the best performance, install one or two SATA 6 Gbps SSDs and connect the device to a computer that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 at 10Gbps. When connected to a computer that supports only USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps or USB 3.0, the speed is limited by the interface to around 400 MBps. For traditional spinning hard disk drives HDDs , the transfer rate is limited by the drive to around 100 MBps. Support Files User's Manual Feb 22, 2017 {C} USB Type-C...
