Unestech ST2520B Structure, Design, and Function

The Unestech ST2520B hdd mobile rack enclosure can accommodate two 2.5-inch hard drives, and there is still a significant difference in size between the ST2520B and floppy drives.

The 2.5-inch SATA built-in hdd mobile rack enclosure is made of aluminum alloy/stainless steel, and the black paint surface further emphasizes this material. This design ensures the heat resistance and stability of the product. Therefore, ST2520B is not only suitable for households, but also for fixed and mobile sectors of industry, aviation, military, police, and rescue organizations.

The metal body allows the heat emitted by the hard drive during operation to be conducted to the body for heat dissipation. In addition, ST2520B is equipped with porous convection technology, and the ventilation holes at the back and top can achieve perfect passive cooling effect for the airflow.

There are screw fixing holes on the side, which can be used to pack the hard drive into a 3.5-inch device space. At the end of the hard drive enclosure, one 15 pin SATA power interface and one 7-pin SATA data interface can be clearly seen.

ST2520B requires two cables for connection: a power connection and a data connection.

After removing the key lock, the SSD can also be screwed onto the hdd mobile rack enclosure.

If necessary, you can lock the ST2520B protected hard drive with a key to prevent unauthorized access.

ST2520B supports hot swapping of hard drives, allowing for quick replacement and easier maintenance. It can adapt to hard drive heights of 5mm to 9.5mm HDD/SSD.
