## Long description

The StarTech.com S251BRU33 rugged HDD/SSD enclosure protects a single 2.5" SATA drive (HDD or SSD) and converts it to external storage via a Micro‑USB B connection. Designed for field use, the enclosure offers a durable black casing with a silicone sleeve, hot‑swappable installation and USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) connectivity with UASP support for faster data transfers.
Advantages
The enclosure provides military‑grade shock protection (MIL‑STD‑810G) and has been drop‑tested to 4 meters (13 feet). It delivers IP54‑rated resistance to water and dust, a silicone sleeve for additional impact absorption, and internal stabilization for the drive. With UASP support it achieves significantly improved read/write performance over traditional USB 3.0 when used with a compatible host controller. The unit is tool‑less for easy drive installation and includes a USB cable; it is backed by a 2‑year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Remove the silicone sleeve and open the latch to insert a 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD into the enclosure.

Usage recommendations
For optimal performance pair the enclosure with a UASP‑enabled host controller (Windows 8, macOS 10.8+ or Linux) and a SATA III (6 Gbps) SSD.
