Do your hard drives become idle when you upgraded your computer? Instead of having them retired, with Apacer AD100 and AD300 external enclosures, they can serve new purposes! Equipped with SATA III and USB 3.1 Gen 1 high speed interface with UASP, both models come with enhanced transmission speeds that are up to 400 MB per second. AD100 is built with high-strength steel and plastic for better protection. AD300, on the other hand, is crafted with aluminum alloy, complete with especially designed cooling holes for better heat dissipation. Both enclosures are built with tool-free designs for fast installation, easily turning the unused hard drives into external storage solutions.

The brand new AD100 and AD300 external enclosures are designed especially for 9.5mm and 7mm 2.5-inch HDD/SSD. The SATA III and USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface with UASP significantly improve the transmission performance which is test proven to reach 400 MB/s when operating with a SSD, representing a 73% increase in read speed compared to an enclosure without UASP. Also, the read speed can reach 100 MB/s when operated with a conventional hard drive. AD100 and AD300 make your unused hard drives become high-speed portable storage solutions.



Compared with conventional hard drives, which tend to be built with a mechanical structure that is vulnerable to shocks during movements, AD100 adopts high-strength steel and plastic to ensure better protection. The textured surface on the back of AD100 ensures a fine touch that reduces slide accidents. The exterior of AD300 is built with aluminum alloy that has a matte finish for better hand grip while preventing fingerprints. For better heat dissipation performance, Apacer especially deign cooling holes on the side of AD300, effectively increasing air ventilation, keeping the operation smooth with longer lifespan.

For convenient installation, AD100 and AD300 are both designed to be "tool-free". You can replace hard drives and back up files with just 3 steps. A safety switch designed on the side of AD300 allows fast opening and removal, at the same time securely keeping the hard drive inside.

AD100, constructed as slim as 13mm for better portability, is available in black, while AD300 is in silver which presents high-tech and fashion style. Combining functionality, safety and fine design, AD100 and AD300 will be your perfect partner for external storage!
