Q   Maximum drive capacity.

o    This product can handle SATA drives up to 3TB in capacity.

Q   What is the maximum transfer rate for SATA interface?

o    The SATA transfer rate will depend on the drive speed as well as which interface the controller card or motherboard uses.

o    The maximum transfer rate when using SATA 1.5Gbps (SATA I) is approximately 150 MB/sec.

o    The maximum transfer rate when using SATA 3Gbps (SATA II) is approximately 300 MB/sec.

o    The maximum transfer rate when using SATA 6Gbps (SATA III) is approximately 600MB/sec.

Q   Is this compatible with the new SATA 6Gbps (SATA III)?

o    Yes, because this device does not use any chipsets, the SATA connection from the drive is directly passed through to the motherboard/controller card. And since SATA 6Gbps saw no change to the physical connectors, it is compatible with SATA 3Gbps products where no chipsets are involved. Both drive and motherboard/controller card must support SATA 6Gbps.

Q   Can an aftermarket fan be used to replace the stock fan?

o    No. While some fans may fit, the unit was designed with our particular fan in mind. Using an aftermarket fan may void the product warranty and/or damage the device.

o    If a replacement fan is needed, please contact us for assistance.

Q   What features does the key lock have?

o    The key lock is a 2 position lock, allowing the drive to be locked or unlocked.
