USB 3.0 Dual Bay RAID Enclosure w/ CalDigit ExpressCard for Mac & Laptop
The CalDigit SuperSpeed ExpressCard for Laptop is the first to offer USB 3.0 connectivity to both Mac and PCs with an available ExpressCard/34 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 take extra power from the laptop's built-in USB port. This is ideal for bus powered portable devices, like 2.5" drives that demand more power than standard USB ports.

Akitio NT2U3 Dual Bay Enclosure Feature:
The ultra compact design of the NT2 makes this dual-bay RAID storage enclosure one of the smallest in the market, yet it still packs a punch when it comes to flexibility and performance. Installing the 3.5″ SATA hard drives is quick and easy, thanks to the screw-less design. By incorporating USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology, Akitio’s NT2 U3 is able to break the USB 2.0 barrier, delivering up to 10 times the speed of the older USB connection. At the same time, it is still backwards compatible with the widely used USB 2.0 technology.
Compact & Screw-less Design
The small footprint and screw-less design makes this the ideal storage expansion for your crowded desktop. In a matter of seconds, hard drives can be installed or replaced without any extra tools.
2-Bay RAID Storage Enclosure
The NT2 is designed to house up to two 3.5″ SATA hard drives with the option to setup your drives according to your own preferences. For data security select RAID 1 (mirror copy), for performance select RAID 0 and to create two independent volumes, select Non-RAID.
