## Long description

The Fantec QB-35US3-6G Black 3.5" is a desktop HDD enclosure designed to accommodate up to four 3.5-inch Serial ATA III drives. Supporting a 6 Gbit/s interface and USB 3.2 Gen 1 host connectivity, the enclosure offers multiple RAID modes including JBOD and hardware-assisted RAID configurations to balance capacity, performance, and data protection. Constructed with a metal chassis in a black finish, the unit is intended for users needing expanded external storage with straightforward connection to modern PCs and workstations.
Advantages
The enclosure supports four 3.5" SATA III drives for high-capacity storage and utilizes USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for transfer rates up to the host interface limit. Its metal construction provides structural stability and improved heat dissipation compared with plastic enclosures. Built-in RAID modes and JBOD allow flexible drive management for either maximizing available capacity or implementing redundancy and improved read performance. The product's compact desktop form factor and black finish make it suitable for office and studio environments where a professional appearance and reliable operation are needed.
Suitable for
 Expanding local backup storage for desktops and small servers
 Centralized media libraries for photo, video, or audio projects
 Workflows requiring RAID configurations for redundancy or performance

How to use
Install 3.5" SATA drives into the available bays following the drive alignment and seating instructions in the user manual, securing each drive according to the enclosure's mounting method. Connect the enclosure to a host computer using the included USB cable and ensure the host supplies sufficient power if external power is required. Configure the desired disk mode through the enclosure's hardware or software interface (selecting JBOD or a RAID level as needed), initialize and format the volumes from the operating system, then transfer files using standard file-manager tools. Monitor drive health and performance periodically and follow safe removal procedures before disconnecting the device.
Usage recommendations
 For reliable operation, use matched-capacity and similar-speed SATA III drives when configuring RAID, maintain regular backups even when using redundancy, ensure the enclosure has adequate ventilation during prolonged use, and verify compatibility of the host operating system with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity and the chosen RAID configuration.
