Introduction

U3H41S4310S is USB 3.0 to four SATA III Bridges Board.
It is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for four SATA devices.
It allows SATA drives to be connected to USB 3.0 serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.
U3H41S4310S provides a cost-effective solution for system integrator to integrate four SATA drives into their system through the USB 3.0 serial bus.

U3H41S4310S provides a Jumper which allow user to set the function for selecting SATA Read-only (Write Protect) or Read/Write.
