## Long description

The ICY BOX Spade Base 388 is a single-bay external enclosure for 2.5" and 3.5" SATA SSDs and HDDs, providing a tool-free way to connect internal drives to a computer via USB Type-C. It supports 3.5" SATA hard drives up to 30 TB and offers USB 3.2 Gen 1 (up to 5 Gbps) transfers with UASP support for improved efficiency on compatible systems. The enclosure includes a dedicated power adapter and an LED indicator for power and access, and it is compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux.
Advantages
The enclosure's screwless, plug-and-play design enables quick installation or swapping of drives without tools or additional drivers. High-speed USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates and UASP support reduce waiting times during large file copies and backups. Built-in power supply ensures stable operation with 3.5" drives, while the LED indicator provides clear status feedback. Broad system compatibility makes it easy to switch the drive between different computers.
Suitable for
Backing up large volumes of data and archives
Copying or transferring video, photo and media libraries
Recovering data from older internal drives
Temporarily reusing spare SSDs or accessing removed drives
IT administrators and technicians who need quick drive access
When it may not be suitable
This enclosure supports only one drive at a time and does not provide RAID or multi-drive redundancy. It uses SATA interface drives; NVMe M.2 drives are not compatible without a separate adapter. For workflows requiring sustained multi-drive performance or hardware RAID, a multi-bay or RAID-capable enclosure would be more appropriate.

Maximum single-drive capacity: 30 TB
Host interface: USB Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1), up to 5 Gbps

How to use
Install a compatible 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drive into the screwless bay and connect the enclosure to mains power using the supplied adapter. Plug the USB Type-C cable into a computer USB port; the enclosure is plug-and-play on major operating systems and typically requires no additional drivers. Use your OS file manager or backup software to copy, archive or recover files. For safe removal, follow the operating system’s eject procedure before disconnecting power and the USB cable.
What to consider before purchase
Drive compatibility: only SATA (Serial ATA) 2.5" or 3.5" SSD/HDD supported; NVMe M.2 not supported
Single-bay design: supports one drive at a time (no RAID)
Power requirement: includes external adapter required for 3.5" drives
Interface speed: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (up to 5 Gbps) — ensure host supports this for maximum throughput
Usage recommendations
Use the Spade Base 388 for routine backups, medium-to-large file transfers and one-off data recovery tasks. For reliable results, connect to a USB 3.x port on the host, enable UASP where supported, and always eject the drive through the operating system before disconnecting power.
