SATA Enclosure

[BreadFan]

Does anyone happen to know if the Ultra ULT40443 3.5" Internal Enclosure natively supports SATA revision 3.0 (SATA 6 Gbit/s)? Done quite a bit of searching last night / this morning and can't find a definitive answer so hoping someone here has one that can give a definitive answer.

so esata 1 drive / sata 1 drive.

i'd say the description of 3gbps/6gbps (respectively) is accurate.

A little confusing.

It holds 2.5" drives but is mounted in a 3.5" bay.

I find it hard to believe but this link mentions SATAI.

I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows if the box is just straight through or if it has a SATA backplane? If it's straight through, it should work fine with SATA 6 Gbit/s. If it has a SATA backplane, it's most likely using SATA 3 Gbit/s. Just trying to figure it out for my build I'm working on. Using a crucial real ssd SATA 6 Gbit/s 64 gb for the OS drive and am looking for a cool way to mount it. Don't want to have it running at SATA 3 Gbit/s if at all possible.

Appreciate the link and I have seen that item but am looking for something different. Thanks.

Yes, that's it. I know it says 3/6 Gbit/s but wondering if that means it's just compatible with 6 Gbit/s and downgrade the drive to 3 Gbit/s or if it will actually run the drive at 6 Gbit/s?

Personally I'd go ahead and buy it. Try it, if the drives are slowed as compared to without it I should think it could be gutted. run a benchmark on the drives with and without the enclosure first.

Thank you sir. Will probably do that.

Just keep in mind to make the first test hooked up direct to the mobo so you have a "standard" or baseline to reference.
