01HARD DRIVES
Dual bay storage with quiet precision
The Simplecom SE482 sits quietly on your desk, its aluminum casing absorbing the warmth of two working hard drives without a hint of noise. It is a tool for order, turning loose capacity into a managed system that feels as considered as it is functional.
This dual bay enclosure connects via USB-C or USB-A, supporting four distinct operating modes. It suits creators and professionals who need reliable external storage, whether they prioritise speed through striping or safety through mirroring.
02MATERIALS
Cool aluminium for sustained performance
The chassis is constructed from aluminium, a material chosen for its thermal properties rather than just its aesthetic finish. This metal shell acts as a heat sink, drawing warmth away from the internal components during long editing sessions or large file transfers. The design ensures that the drives remain within an optimal temperature range, preserving data integrity and extending the lifespan of the hardware inside.
04CONFIGURATION
Four modes for different needs
The SE482 offers four distinct operating states: Normal, Large (JBOD), RAID 0, and RAID 1. In Normal mode, each drive appears independently. JBOD merges them into a single volume, such as combining two five-terabyte drives into one ten-terabyte pool. RAID 0 stripes data for speed, while RAID 1 mirrors data for redundancy, providing a clear choice between raw performance and data safety.
05CONNECTIVITY
Flexible USB-C interface
The reversible SuperSpeed USB-C connector simplifies setup, eliminating the fiddling required by older port orientations. It supports data transfer rates up to five gigabits per second, making it compatible with both modern laptops featuring USB-C ports and desktops equipped with standard USB-A connections. This adaptability ensures the enclosure remains useful across various hardware generations and workspace setups.
06AT A GLANCE

About this product
Simplecom SE482 SuperSpeed USB Dual Bay 3.5″ SATA Hard Drive RAID Enclosure USB-C RAID 0/1, JBOD
SE482 a dual bay 3.5″ SATA hard drive enclosure with 4 operating modes, providing various RAID and storage configurations. It can be used to house and manage two 3.5″ SATA hard drives externally.
• Convenient and Fast USB-C Interface
Featuring a reversible SuperSpeed USB-C interface to meet the needs of the flexibility and convenience, and you can connect it to your computer with USB-C or USB-A port, supporting SuperSpeed data transfer rate up to 5Gbps.
• Durability and Reliability
Aluminum housing for superior heat dissipation and featuring a built-in 5CM silent cooling fan, to ensure efficient cooling for your hard drives during extended operational periods, also provides features for optimal performance and reliability, like temperature controlled fan and auto sleep function.
• Four Operating and RAID Modes
- This enclosure offers various operating modes, including RAID 0, RAID 1, Large (JBOD) and Normal (Independent) modes. It provides flexibility in terms of storage configuration or data redundancy needs.
- NORMAL
- Enclosure operates as a standard external hard drive enclosure with no RAID configuration, treating each drive as an independent storage device. Two hard drives show separate drive letters on computer.
- LARGE (JBOD)
- In this mode, the drives are presented as a single large drive with no redundancy or striping. e.g. combine 2x 5TB drives to a single 10TB drive. It will merge capacity of 2 hard drives and makes it easy to manage.
- RAID 1
- Disk mirroring mode, providing data redundancy and fault tolerance. It’s the replication of data to two HDDs, which makes files can be restored easily when one hard drive is faulty.
- RAID 0
- Disk striping mode, dividing data into blocks and spreading the data blocks across two HDDs. This will increase reading and writing speed, but it is not recommended for storing important data. One faulty hard drive will incur loss of entire data.
- This dual-bay 3.5″ hard drive enclosure is a versatile storage solution that offers various RAID configurations, fast data transfer, durability, and features to help manage and protect your data, making it a convenient solution for expanding storage capacity, enhancing data security, or configuring drives to suit different needs.
