- Integrated USB-C cable (Type-C)
- USB 3.1 Gen 2, SATA 6Gbps

”With the enclosure’s integrated USB-C cable, users can travel confidently without worrying about bringing additional cables or connectors. This product is the perfect solution for USB-C computer users who want access to files on their SSD and HDD drives,” said Scott Burton, Product Manager at StarTech.com.
Drive enclosures provide instant access to SSDs and HDDs, for data recovery, and give users an easy way to re-purpose their drives. The new USB-C SATA drive enclosure excels at providing fast external access to data, through the integrated USB-C cable, for seamless management of files while working remotely, transferring files between devices and locations, migrating data and archiving files for system backups.
The new enclosure is available at Insight, Misco, Amazon.co.uk and Dabs and is also distributed by Enta, Ingram Micro and Exertis.
