ItвЂ™s only about 40 mb/s slower on the USB 3 connection, which isnвЂ™t bad really. Here we see the SATA and USB 3 are close, the write speeds are pretty much the same but the read speeds are a bit faster on the SATA connection. The USB 3 and SATA speeds are very close, of course the USB 2 interface is very slow in comparison. I used ATTO for testing and tested USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and SATA for comparisons. I use enclosures just to transfer data from one place to another and I have my NAS box for backups.ДЇor testing I used a Seagate 7200.4 7200RPM 500gig hard drive and the OCZ Solid 2 60gb SSD as well. ItвЂ™s nothing against the Gauntlet enclosure itself, IвЂ™ve never used the backup button on any of these types of products myself. IвЂ™ve used it before, but personally I donвЂ™t care for it, I do my backups manually.

#PCCLONE EX LITE REVIEW SOFTWARE#

The PCClone EX software works fine, but itвЂ™s basic stuff. This software is actually popular with devices like this one, IвЂ™ve seen it with many enclosures and docks that have the backup button on them.

#PCCLONE EX LITE REVIEW INSTALL#

To use the backup button youвЂ™ll need to pop in the CD and install the software which happens to be PCClone Ex Lite. You just push the hard drive into the connections and then slide it back into the enclosure then secure the screws. To install a hard drive in the Gauntlet youвЂ™ll need to remove two screws and then pull the end off exposing the circuit board and SATA connections.

#PCCLONE EX LITE REVIEW PORTABLE#

Installation of your 2.5вЂі HDD or SSD is simple and transforms your drive into a high-performance portable storage solution for use with desktop/notebook computers and USB enabled media players. Gauntlet works with your 2.5вЂі SATA I/II HDD or SSD, offers 5Gbps transfer rates and hot swappable plug and play connectivity. With an elegant all aluminum design and high quality craftsmanship, the Patriot Gauntlet SuperSpeed USB 2.5вЂі enclosure merges the speed and performance of USB 3.0 technology with portability. On the back youвЂ™ll find the USB 3 connection, USB power connection, backup button and an LED indicator. The back comes off to install the hard drive, itвЂ™s held on by two screws. On the top is the Gauntlet logo, and the front has the Patriot logo. The enclosure is black aluminum and looks very nice, even empty itвЂ™s fairly heavy. Inside youвЂ™ll find the enclosure itself, USB 3.0 cable, USB power cable and software disc. The Gauntlet comes in a nice looking box and itвЂ™s packaged well. Included with the enclosure is an extra USB power cable in case you might need it and the enclosure even has a backup button on it to be used in conjunction with the included software to make your backups quick and easy. The Gauntlet is extremely well made of aluminum, it looks great and itвЂ™s inexpensive when compared to others, even those that are no-name or generic brands. Today for review Patriot has sent me of the Gauntlet USB 3.0 enclosure for 2.5вЂќ hard drives and SSDs. With USB 3.0 becoming more mainstream more companies are coming out with compatible products, which makes for more competition which in turn brings the prices down, which is a good thing for the consumer. I was an early adopter and what was out there was limited and expensive, but most new technologies are.

USB 3.0 is getting more and more mainstream and itвЂ™s nice to see it.
