KINGWIN ATK-35U3-BK USB 3.0 HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE INTRODUCTION
Most of us have used a USB hard drive at some point during the past few years – their popularity has increased exponentially due to the portability and ease of use they provide. With so many of us now storing music, videos, and other files on our portable hard drives, the only downside can be the time it takes to copy everything to a PC. Large files can take a long time to transfer, and no one likes to wait around longer than they have to.
Enter the Kingwin ATK-35U3-BK USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure. Even if you only use external storage occasionally, now is a great time to upgrade to the USB 3.0 interface. The new standard boasts up to a 5Gbps data transfer rate and is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Plus, hard drives can be had very cheap these days. It's a win-win situation any way you look at it.
But how well does Kingwin's enclosure stack up? Will the drive inside stay cool? Is the unit easy to transport from place to place? Is it really that much faster than USB 2.0? Let's find out.
