Since the enclosure supports either legacy IDE or SATA drives, you can rest assured that youll have the correct option on-hand when its time to swap another drive in, without having to worry about compatibility.

To get the most from your SATA III drives and ensure maximum performance and speed, the UNI251BMU33 is enhanced with UASP support.
