Is this a 3.5" SATA hard drive? Yes, this is a unique drive kit solution that mimics the function of a 3.5" SATA hard drive.

This Snap-In 25 RAID is a powerful drive enclosure solution that enables you to install up to two 2.5" SATA hard drives or SSD into the space of a 3.5" SATA hard drive. The enclosure is designed with the exact dimension, mounting hole location and the same connector as found in a commercial standard 3.5" SATA hard drive. So once the 2.5" hard drives are installed into the Snap-In 25 RAID, the entire enclosure can be used just like a regular 3.5" SATA hard drive.

The two 2.5" SATA drives can be standard 2.5" hard drive, Solid State Drive (SSD) or any of the Addonics 2.5" flash drive ( storage kit that enables CF, CFast or mSATA memory card to be used like 2.5" SSD). The two drives inside the Snap-In 25 RAID can be set to appear as two individual drives, a single large combined drive, a single drive volume in RAID 0 for fast READ/WRITE performance or RAID 1 for drive redundancy to protect against drive failure. Using fast solid state drive or high-speed flash media in a RAID 0 set up, the Snap-In 25 RAID can perform up to 3 Gbps in READ/WRITE, out performing most 3.5" SATA hard drives while consuming much less power and more resilient against shock and vibration. The Snap-In 25 RAID is an ideal solution for creating a large capacity and low cost SSD drive.

There is no special tool needed to install the drives into the Snap-In 25 RAID. Simply unlatch and swing open the door at the front, slide the drives into the two drive slots, close and latch the door to secure the drives, When the front door is unlatched and swung opened, the two drives automatically slides out for easy removal.
