StarTech.com UNIDOCKU33 USB 3.0 To SATA 6Gbps IDE HDD Docking Station 2.5/3.5

The UNIDOCKU33 USB 3.0 Universal HDD/SSD Dock from StarTech.com gives you instant access to your 2.5 or 3.5in IDE and 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) and hybrid drives with performance up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller.

The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drives upright inside the docks, neatly keeping them off the desk, for convenience and a clutter-free set-up. For SATA drives, the HDD can be inserted and connected directly through the designated dock slot, while the IDE drive slot is conveniently positioned near the rear panel 40-pin data and LP4 power connections, making it easy to connect to the dock using the included IDE data and power cables.

A single USB 3.0 connection to your host computer gives access to both the IDE and 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 and back-up capabilities of your computer system with support for high capacity drives (tested with up to 6TB 3.5in and 2TB 2.5in drives).

The UNIDOCKU33 is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
