SATA 6Gb/s Internal 2.5-inch SSD/HDD/SSHD Dock for Floppy Bays
Turn any floppy drive bay into a high performance removable connector for the latest notebook size storage devices using the SATA 6Gb/s Internal 2.5-inch SSD/HDD/SSHD Dock for Floppy Bays. Easy to install, this economical device for desktop computers provides a simple way to deploy the whole range of 7, 9.5, and 15mm 2.5-inch storage devices as if they were any other removable media. Connecting to a computer’s SATA 6Gb/s bus and 22-pin SATA power, the SATA 6Gb/s Internal 2.5-inch SSD/HDD/SSHD Dock for Floppy Bays provides maximum performance with the latest SATA Solid State Drives (SSD), 10,000 and 7,200 RPM Hard Disk Drives (HDD), and Hybrid SSD/HDD devices (SSHD). The unit is backwards compatible with previous SATA versions, and is bootable. Change 2.5-inch devices quickly by using an operating system’s method to safely unmount the drive, then popping out and in SATA disks as if they were floppy disks.

The Delock 42510 Thunderbolt External Enclosure for 2.5-inch SATA devices delivers maximum SATA performance with even the fastest Solid State Drives. The attractive and sturdy aluminum enclosure accepts 7mm slim, 9.5mm standard, and 15mm enterprise style 2.5-inch notebook style drive devices. The 42510 Thunderbolt to SATA Drive Enclosure provides full throughput for SATA 6GB/s with bandwidth to spare. It is backwards compatible with SATA 3GB/s and 1.5GB/s devices as well. The 42510 Thunderbolt Enclosure lets you choose between spacious Hard Disk Drives (HDD), screaming fast Solid State Drives (SSD), or popular hybrid SSHD Drives. Upgrade by simply swapping out drive devices. The Delock 42510 comes with a 12 Volt at 2.5 Ampere power supply. The External Thunderbolt Enclosure features a single Thunderbolt port and is compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows systems with Thunderbolt support.
As Solid State Drives (SSD) like OCZ Vector Series find more deployments than ever before, it's important to keep in mind some of their technological compromises. While smaller processes, and hence increased transistor densities, are often desirable in microelectronics, NAND cells present a trade-off. Smaller processes reduce the endurance cycles of NAND memory, while simultaneously providing better capacity to cost ratios.
On April 10, 2012, AnandTech published an interesting piece that discusses this compromise, and provides an informative table of typical SSD total estimated life-span for several program/erase cycles. That table is reproduced here for informational purposes. Synchrotech recommends potentional SSD users familiarize themselves with the trade offs that SSDs pose.
The folks at pcfuns.com ran benchmarks on the ORICO 2595 Series 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD external enclosures with eSATA and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 with a Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB SSD installed.
Comparing both the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and eSATA, they found the eSATA interface to be significantly faster, but that isn’t to say the USB 3.0 numbers were entirely unimpressive. The 2595's eSATA port averaged 200 MB/s reads and 171 MB/s writes with the Solid State Drive, while the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port weighed in with 164.5 MB/s reads and 103 MB/s writes.
All in all, the stylish 2595SUS3 deployed with modern 2.5-inch devices provides excellent performance and is perfect for mobile applications at a price that anyone can appreciate.

The Delock 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD Drive Adaptor represents the second generation of high-performance Thunderbolt to SATA devices. Portable, but still featuring a full 22-pin SATA connector, the 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps Adapter connects to both 2.5in and 3.5in SATA devices. Deploy with screaming fast Solid State Drives (SSD), or spacious Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Delock’s 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD Drive Adaptor versatility makes it a great addition to any Thunderbolt based work flow. While best performance is achieved with SATA 6 Gb/s devices, the Delock 61971 Thunderbolt Adapter is backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gb/s and SATA 3 Gb/s devices as well.
The 61971's 12 Volt at 2.5 Ampere power supply is used to power the adapter itself as well as connected 5.25-inch optical drives, 3.5-inch HDDs, or 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs. The 61971 features a single Thunderbolt port and is compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows systems with Thunderbolt support. The included Windows drivers allow use with SATA based Optical Drives under Windows.
Because of our excellent relationship with Delock, we were selected to be one of their first vendors for their exciting new product release. The 61971 has been approved by Intel and is listed on their official Thunderbolt® site.
We are now taking pre-orders for the versatile Thunderbolt SATA device. Our tentative shipment schedule is as follows: "we will be able to ship 10 pieces to you on August 6, 2013 so you can test the product first; and other 10 pieces to ship by the end of August. After that time, we will have enough stock for this item."
