Material Construction: Constructed from a combination of Aluminium Alloy and high‑grade Plastic, the chassis offers lightweight durability without compromising on structural integrity.
Color & Finish: Finished in sleek Black, the enclosure blends seamlessly with any professional environment.

Windows OS: Fully supported on Windows 7 and newer, with plug‑and‑play functionality.
Mac OS: Compatible with macOS Sierra and later, offering native support for Time Machine backups.
Linux OS: Works seamlessly with most Linux distributions that support SATA drives via USB interfaces.

Connectivity & Power Management

USB 3.0 Bus‑Powered: The enclosure draws power directly from the host’s USB port, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Micro‑B USB Connector: A single USB Micro‑B cable provides both data and power transmission, simplifying cable management.
No Card Reader or RAID Support: The device is dedicated to a single HDD; it does not include additional card reader slots or RAID configuration options.
