The removable drive module of the AV Pro not only allows users to add extra storage, but also transfer drives between other AV Pro or T series enclosures and ar- chive them for later access. Most importantly, this allows the ability to add 2.5” SSD drives to the unit for blazingly fast speeds of up to 430 MB/s.
In the case of any issue with the device, do not attempt to repair or open the AV Pro yourself. Doing so can result in personal injury, damage the device, and will void the warranty. If you have any issues, please contact CalDigit Technical Support.
