Turn a 2.5" SATA Hard Drive or Solid State Drive into a UASP supported USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. The S2510BMU33 USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP lets you connect a 2.5in SATA III hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) through an available USB port. The enclosure delivers optimal performance with a USB 3.0 connection, but is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 host connections as well.
Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this 2.5" SATA III enclosure performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only Transport), UASP reduces latency, significantly increasing transfer speeds and reducing processor usage to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives.
With support for SATA I/II/III, and large capacity drives (tested up to 1TB) this HDD enclosure is compatible with virtually any 2.5in SATA hard drive, and greatly increase the storage/backup capabilities of your computer.
The USB 3.0/SATA III enclosure requires no external power adapter and features high quality aluminum construction, ensuring both portability and durability when carried as a laptop accessory.
To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the S2510BMU33 supports all of the leading operating systems, including: Microsoft Windows (8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2008/Server 2003), Apple OSX (10.9/10.8/10.7/10.6), Linux, and Google Chrome OS.
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.
At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.
Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP enabled StarTech.com enclosure, and a SATA III solid state drive.

Work perfectly.
Bought it today, slapped a Samsung 840 pro SSD inside, hooked it up via USB 3 and instantly got a reading of 455 Reads and 421 Write speed. Then I transfered 10 GB of DPX files and took under 8 seconds! The USAP in this enclosure is the major advantage. Its self powered to boot. Perfect for very fast portable storage.

Does not work at all!!
After trying a pair of the S251BMU313 and also a pair of the S251BPU313 but both of these models having driver issues on Windows and Linux so not working then being returned, I tired a pair of this one...
These are both as if they're dead-on-arrival and don't provoke any response from any of my Windows computers (7 / 8.1 / 10 or my Linux OS-based NAS, and not even a flash from the LEDs of the enclosures (with or without an SSD fitted)... Absolutely useless.
They are also specified to have the ASMedia 1053 chip but actually have the ASMedia ASM1153E chip.

OMG this thing is slow.
I used this set up a Samsung 840 EVO SSD as an external drive. I'm only seeing around 20MB/sec file copy speed on this drive (about 50x slower than 1GB/sec with the internal ssd on the same computer).
The same SSD had reasonable performance in another system, so I suspect this enclosure is the cause of the lousy performance.
The enclosure is simple to set up an use, but there must be a better performing solution out there.
