USB 3.0 2.5 inches HDD Enclosure w/ CalDigit PCI-Express Card for Apple Mac & PC
The CalDigit SuperSpeed PCI Express Card is the first to offer USB 3.0 connectivity to both Mac and PCs with an available PCIe slot. This two-port card enables the use of next generation USB technology, capable of speeds up to 5 Gbps. Originally designed for the CalDigit AV Drive, the SuperSpeed Card now opens the door enabling the use of the latest USB 3.0 devices.
Every CalDigit product is designed with high quality components and the CalDigit SuperSpeed Card is no exception. Utilizing the latest technology, the SuperSpeed Card provides two 5 Gbps USB 3.0 ports on a PCI Express 2.0 card. All components, from the card to the cable, have been tested using a special oscilloscope to ensure optimum performance
While windows users have had access to USB 3.0 drivers for some time, there was never a driver for the Mac. So CalDigit's engineers developed the first USB 3.0 driver for Mac OS X. For the first time, both Mac and PC users are able to take advantage of the superior speeds of USB 3.0.
Why USB 3.0? Simply put, USB 3.0 is fast! With speeds of up to 5 Gbps, it's faster than eSATA and FireWire. USB 3.0 is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so you can continue to use all your existing devices. Unlike eSATA, USB 3.0 provides power so devices can be bus powered. USB 3.0 supports video and audio playback much better than USB 2.0.
The CalDigit SuperSpeed Card comes standard with a high quality USB 3.0 cable. The CalDigit SuperSpeed Card only comes with premium cables that have passed CalDigit's rigorous tests.
The CalDigit SuperSpeed Card also provides the ability to provide extra power at the connectors. This is ideal for bus powered devices that demand more power than standard USB ports.
