Description
The Digifusion 35D-U324NSR stands as a comprehensive data management hub, bridging the gap between high-capacity mechanical storage and ultra-fast NVMe performance. Engineered with a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C interface, this enclosure delivers up to 10Gbps bandwidth, ensuring that professional workflows remain bottleneck-free. Whether you are mirroring critical data via hardware RAID 1 or maximizing throughput with RAID 0, the internal UASP-enabled chipset optimizes transfer protocols for modern operating systems and high-speed SSDs.
This product is for:
- Content Creators: Ideal for 4K video editors who require high-capacity SATA storage for raw footage and fast M.2 NVMe slots for active scratch disks.
- Data Archivists: Perfect for users requiring redundant backups through hardware-level RAID 1 mirroring on high-capacity 22TB+ enterprise drives.
- Mobile Power Users: Fully compatible with iPhone 15 and 16 series, allowing for direct external recording and seamless file management via USB-C.
- IT Professionals: A versatile choice for multi-OS environments, supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android without complex driver requirements.
- Home Lab Enthusiasts: Those building a compact storage array will appreciate the hybrid drive support and the ability to read four drives simultaneously.

Setting up the 35D-U324NSR is streamlined by a tool-free design for 3.5-inch drives, allowing for rapid deployment in fast-paced environments. The enclosure is built for sustained operation, featuring a robust cooling system and multiple protection layers to maintain low internal temperatures and data integrity during heavy read/write cycles. The inclusion of both USB-C to C and USB-A to C cables ensures immediate connectivity with legacy workstations and the latest mobile devices alike.
Unlike standard dual-bay enclosures that limit users to a single drive type, the 35D-U324NSR provides a unique four-drive hybrid environment. While traditional RAID boxes often force a choice between capacity and speed, this model allows both to coexist, providing the sequential speed of NVMe alongside the cost-effective bulk storage of SATA. Its hardware RAID controller offloads processing from the host CPU, offering more stable performance and easier configuration than software-based alternatives found in entry-level enclosures.
Q&A:
- Can this enclosure be used with the latest smartphones? Yes, it is fully compatible with Android devices and iPhone 15/16 models for external storage expansion and direct recording.
- Does it support simultaneous reading of all drives? Yes, when connected to a computer, both M.2 NVMe SSDs and the SATA drives can be accessed and read at the same time.
- What is the maximum capacity for the SATA bays? Each 3.5-inch slot supports high-capacity drives of 22TB or more, facilitating massive local storage arrays.
- Is the RAID configuration difficult to set up? No, the hardware RAID modes (0, 1, JBOD, Normal) are easily configured via internal settings for immediate hardware-level data management.
- What transfer speeds can I expect? With USB 3.2 Gen2 and UASP support, the device reaches theoretical speeds of up to 10Gbps, depending on the performance of the installed drives.
