  • Connectivity and Speed: The enclosure features a USB 3.0 interface with a maximum data transfer speed of 5 Gbps. It supports the UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) accelerated transmission protocol, which can provide up to 70% faster performance than conventional USB 3.0 when connected to a UASP-enabled computer running Windows 8 or newer or Mac OS X 10.8 or newer.
  • Compatibility: It supports standard notebook 2.5-inch SATA I, II, and III HDDs and SSDs with a thickness of less than 9.5 mm. It is plug-and-play with no drivers needed for Windows (Vista/XP/7/8/10), Linux, Mac OS 8.0 and above, PS4, and Xbox.
  • Design: The enclosure has a durable ABS plastic casing. It features a tool-free installation design, making it simple to slide the cover back, insert the drive, and close it. Internal EVA foam padding helps protect the hard disk from improper shaking and scratches. A blue LED indicator shows the working status.
  • Power and Cable: The device is USB-powered, meaning no external power adapter is required, and it includes a 50cm (approx. 19.7-inch) or 30cm (approx. 11.8-inch) integrated USB 3.0 cable depending on the specific product variant. It also includes an auto-sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy and extend drive life.

Ugreen UG- 30847 2.5 Inch Hard Drive Box

The UGREEN UG-30847 is a 2.5-inch external hard drive enclosure that connects internal SATA drives to a computer via USB 3.0. Also known as the US221, this enclosure features a built-in USB 3.0 Type-A cable. The integrated cable eliminates the need for a separate data cord. The UGREEN UG-30847 uses a VL711F0 chipset and supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0. It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

The enclosure shell is made from ABS plastic with a non-slip surface finish in black. It measures 128.5 × 82 × 14 mm (5.06 × 3.23 × 0.55 inches). The UGREEN UG-30847 operates as a plug-and-play device. No driver installation is required. It draws power directly from the host USB port, so no external power adapter is needed.

USB 3.0 Transfer Speed and UASP Support

The UGREEN UG-30847 provides a USB 3.0 interface with a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 5 Gbps. This is approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0 connections. The internal SATA III connector supports transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps, ensuring the USB interface does not bottleneck SATA III drives under normal operating conditions.

The enclosure supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). When enabled, UASP reduces CPU overhead and command latency during data transfers. According to UGREEN, this protocol accelerates read speeds by up to 70% compared to standard USB 3.0 BOT (Bulk-Only Transport) mode. However, UASP requires that the host device, operating system, and USB controller all support the protocol. On the OS side, macOS 10.8 and newer as well as Windows 8 and newer natively support UASP.

Built-In USB Cable

One distinguishing feature of the UGREEN UG-30847 is its built-in USB 3.0 cable. The cable is permanently attached to the enclosure and measures 50 cm (approximately 20 inches). This integrated design means there is no loose cable to misplace or forget. As a result, the UGREEN UG-30847 is always ready to connect without searching for a compatible cord.

The built-in cable terminates in a USB Type-A connector. This plug is compatible with standard USB-A ports found on most desktops, laptops, game consoles, and other host devices. Since the cable is non-detachable, the UGREEN UG-30847 maintains a compact and clutter-free profile when packed for travel.
