U6 with USB/FireWire B Interface (SATA Tray)
The Stardom U6 hard drive enclosure had many unique features. Firstly, it houses the hard disk in a removable caddy. The caddy may either accept a SATA hard drive, like this model, or a PATA hard drive. The second unique feature is that is has both a USB2.0 and a FireWire 800 port. There are not many hard drive enclosures with that powerful combination.
To fit the hard drive into the caddy is simply a matter of 4 screws. You can then insert the caddy/hard drive into the U6 unit, and then access the hard drive via USB2.0 or FireWire 800 for blazing data transfer.
The U6 enclosure has no fan, which makes operation near silent. The only noise will be from the internal hard disk drive. Heat is dissipated easily via the enclosure and the grilles on either side of the enclosure.
Any capacity SATA hard drive may be used with this unit, and if you have a PATA hard drive, then any capacity may be uses with the purchase of a PATA caddy.
