Connect both an IDE & a SATA 2.5/3.5in hard drive or solid state drive to your computer system using an available USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 port, with support for UASP for optimal performance. The UNIDOCKU33 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Universal HDD / SSD Dock enables you to instantly access your 2.5 or 3.5in IDE & SATA hard drives through two top loading drive slots, saving you the hassle of mounting the drives into a computer or external enclosure or tray. Enhanced with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), this hard drive docking station lets you get the most out of the fastest drive technologies such as SATA III (6 Gbps), solid state drives (SSD) & hybrid, drives with performance up to 70% faster than conventional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. The slot-loading design holds the SATA & IDE drives upright inside the docks, neatly keeping them off the desk, for convenience & a clutter-free setup. For SATA drives, the HDD can be inserted & connected directly through the designated dock slot, while the IDE drive slot is conveniently positioned near the rear panel 40-pin data & LP4 power connections, making it easy to connect to the dock using the included IDE data & power cables. A single USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 connection to your host computer, enables access to both the IDE & SATA hard drives simultaneously
- a convenient solution for migrating data from an IDE drive to a SATA drive or vice versa. The dock can also be used to greatly increase the storage & backup capabilities of your computer system with support for high capacity drives (tested with up to 6TB 3.5" & 2TB 2.5" drives). UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), & Linux. In testing, UASP performs with a 70% faster read speed & 40% faster write speed over traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 at peak performance. At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources. Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP-enabled Star Tech.com
