The ASMedia ASM1153E bridge chip is used in this product.Ĭonsumers need to keep the following aspects in mind for external storage devices / enclosures with a USB interface: To that end, it advertises hot-plug capability and features an exposed SATA port. The UA1001 is meant for use by consumers wishing to swap out SATA drives often. However, because of its lightweight nature, it does feel a bit flimsy in the hand. The enclosure itself is made of ABS plastic and looks sturdy. The firmware is configured to power down the SATA drive after 30 minutes of inactivity. Internally, the unit uses a JMicron JMS578 bridge chip with UASP support. The gallery below shows that the FE2010 has an explicitly on/off switch and an activity LED. A small foam pad is also included in order to ensure that internal drive is held snugly within the enclosure. The FE2010 is a tool-less design, allowing part of the rear to slide off in order to insert a 2.5" drive into the enclosure's SATA port. We utilized it in the latter mode in our review of the Seagate BarraCuda Pro 10TB helium drive. For other use-cases, it utilizes a bundled 24W power adapter. The UA1001 can operate with just the bus power for 2.5" drives. While the FE2010 is an enclosure for a 2.5" drive and can operate only via bus power, the UA1001 is a SATA adaptor meant for use with high-power SATA devices such as 3.5" drives and optical drives. However, the use-cases are completely different. The common characteristic is that both of them present a SATA port at one end and a USB 3.0 Micro-B at the other. Today's review will take a look at two bridges from Inateck, the FE2010 and the UA1001. Within the USB storage bridge market, device vendors have multiple opportunities to tune their product design for specific use-cases. High-end products have Thunderbolt support. eSATA as an uplink interface is on the way out. The most popular uplink port is some sort of USB connection. On the external side, they usually have one or more downstream SATA ports. This drive is compatible with any laptop/computer that uses 2.5" SATA hard drives.Storage bridges come in many varieties within the internal and external market segments.
