This feature offers convenience, and you don't have to worry about running out of battery because you can charge it with this enclosure.

The Mediasonic Raid USB C 3.1 enclosure is a versatile device with its 4K HDMI Extender feature, which allows you to expand your work space to a second monitor. This feature is suitable for professional users who need to work with multiple screens. It increases your productivity by facilitating multitasking, and you can easily switch between different applications on different screens.

Another great feature of this enclosure is the SD Card reader. It allows you to copy data to the hard drive directly, which saves time and effort. This feature is a great addition for professionals who need to transfer data frequently.

The Mediasonic Raid USB C 3.1 enclosure comes with Smart Fan, and Power On / Off in synchronization with the computer (Does not support auto Power-On due to power failure). The smart fan feature provides efficient cooling, and the power synchronizing feature makes it easy to manage the hard drives connected to the enclosure.
