6Gbps Hard Drives - ESATA Or USB 3.0 With UASP

Product Description

Easily connect & swap hard drives & solid-state drives to & from your computer system, with the added benefit of a built-in cooling fan\n\n This USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 & e SATA docking station makes it easy for you to connect & swap your 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard drives (HDD) & solid-state drives (SSD). The docking station also has a built-in fan that keeps your drives running at an optimal temperature for peak performance & longer drive lifespan.\n\n Maximize compatibility\n\n With support for either USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 or e SATA host connections, this versatile drive dock gives you the freedom to connect to your computer through either port. Because USB (Universal Serial Bus) is available on virtually any computer, you can rest assured that this docking station will work with your desktop or laptop. Plus, the added benefit of e SATA ensures you can achieve SATA 6 Gpbs performance on computers with an available e SATA port.\n\n To ensure all your drives are supported, the docking station features a sleek slot-loading design that supports both 2.5in & 3.5in drives. The docking station has also been rigorously tested for support with large capacity drives (tested up to 6TB).\n\n You can extend the compatibility of this dock even further by adding IDE support using our SATA to IDE Hard Drive Adapter (SAT2IDEADP), which allows for easy insertion of any 2.5 or 3.5in IDE hard drive into a SATA hard drive dock.\n\n Protect the health of your drives\n\n For optimal performance, the docking station has a built-in 80mm fan that helps keep your drives running cooler. The fan offers variable speed control which enables you to make adjustments on the fly, in order to reduce power consumption & noise when your drives aren't being accessed. The HDD dock will also power down your SATA drives after a period of inactivity (USB mode only) or when the computer is turned off, to help reduce power consumption & noise when not being accessed.\n\n Improve Performance\n\n To save you time, this docking station is loaded with high-performance features on both interface connections.\n\n For the fastest possible performance, this dock supports full SATA III bandwidth of 6 Gbps when connected through e SATA, ensuring you can get the most out of your solid-state drives.\n\n With USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 the dock ensures high-bandwidth transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) host interface connection also supports UASP, which delivers performance up to 70% faster than conventional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 when paired with a compatible host controller. 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.\n\n At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.\n\n Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP-enabled Star Tech.com enclosure, & a SATA III solid state drive.\n\n The SDOCKU33EF is backed by a 2-year Star Tech.com warranty & free lifetime technical support.\n\n The Star Tech.com Advantage\n\n- Save time, with file transfers up to 70% faster than traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 when used with a UASP-supported host\n- Versatile connectivity options, through either USB (Universal Serial Bus) or e SATA\n- Help extend the life of your hard drives by keeping them cool, with a built-in variable speed fan Feature Feature Value Storage media type HDD, SSDStorage drive interface Serial ATAStorage drive sizes supported 2.5, 3.5" Number of storage drives supported 1 Maximum storage capacity 6 TBHost interface USB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-B + e SATAUSB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 1) ports quantity 1e SATA ports quantity 1DC-in jack Y Maximum data transfer rate 6 Gbit/s Product colour Black Material Plastic Hot-swap Y Plug & Play YLED indicators Activity, Power UASP support Y Chipset J Mircon
