This device handles most standard 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD and allows the user to connect it to their system using SuperSpeed USB 3.0 for transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s. For systems which have not yet upgraded to USB 3.0, the MB668U3-1SB is backwards compatible to use with any USB 2.0 port on Mac or PC systems.
The MB668U3-1SB is predicated off the popular MB668US-1SB and MB668U-1SB, featuring a light weight aluminum construction that draws away the heat, and a hassle-free installation method; no tools or screws are required to insert a drive into the unit. On the front of the device is a blue LED to notify the user of the drive’s status, and is seen through ventilation slots that maximize airflow across the drive.
On the rear of the device, a micro-USB 3.0 port and a DC in connection to use the USB-to-DC cable which is included with the device. This is to use with some larger capacity drives which may require additional power.
