Introduction
The CalDigit AV Pro is a unique storage device that allows users to expand and evolve their
storage needs like never before. 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. Thanks to the CalDigit Drive Utility, the health of
your AV Pro is constantly monitored, relaying any important notications to the user. In addition,
CalDigit has released an iOS and Android app to make it even more convenient for AV Pro owners
to get the most out of their drive.
The AV Pro utilizes a revolutionary transfer protocol called UASP (USB attached SCSI Protocol)
which vastly improves the performance of the USB 3.0 interface. This SCSI protocol allows for
the queueing and execution of multiple and out of order bidirectional command requests. This
results in improved performance and eciency that has not been available on USB 3.0 storage
devices until now. Transfers using the traditional BOT (Bulk Only Transport) Protocol only allowed
the execution of a single unidirectional command at a time without the ability to queue.
CalDigit believes in the quality of your new device and has backed it with a 3 year warranty. We
hope you enjoy your AV Pro as much as we have designing it.
