The S1308A platform supports transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, helping improve backup and file-access performance compared with older USB interfaces.

Active Cooling and Aluminium Housing

A built-in cooling fan works together with the aluminium-alloy chassis to dissipate heat and help maintain stable drive operation during prolonged use.

Automatic Sleep Mode

The enclosure can enter sleep mode after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity, helping reduce power consumption and unnecessary drive activity.

Triple Power Protection

Built-in protection against overcurrent, short circuits and overvoltage helps provide safer power delivery to installed drives and reduces the risk of disruption during operation.

• HDDs and SSDs are not included.
• This S1308A model does not provide RAID functionality.
• 2.5-inch drive installation requires the included mounting screws.
