Akitio USB 3.0 Dual Bay RAID Enclosure & PCI-E Express Card Combo The ultra compact design of the NT2 makes this dual-bay RAID storage enclosure one of the smallest in the market, yet it still packs a punch when it comes to flexibility and performance. Installing the 3.5″ SATA hard drives is quick and easy, thanks to the screw-less design. By incorporating USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology, Akitio’s NT2U3 is able to break the USB 2.0 barrier, delivering up to 10 times the speed of the older USB connection. At the same time, it is still backwards compatible with the widely used USB 2.0 technology. Compact & Screw-less Design The small footprint and screw-less design makes this the ideal storage expansion for your crowded desktop. In a matter of seconds, hard drives can be installed or replaced without any extra tools. 2-Bay RAID Storage Enclosure The NT2 is designed to house up to two 3.5″ SATA hard drives with the option to setup your drives according to your own preferences.
