USB 3.0 to 4-Bay SATA 6Gbps Hard Drive Docking
Station w/ UASP & Dual Fans - 2.5/3.5in SSD /
HDD Dock

Product ID: SDOCK4U33

The SDOCK4U33 four-bay 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD / SSD docking station lets you dock and swap four drives

from your desktop or laptop computer simultaneously, using a single USB port.

Get the most out of your SATA III (Gbps) solid state drives and hybrid drives with this UASP (USB

Attached SCSI Protocol) enhanced hard drive docking station. With performance up to 70% faster than

conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller, UASP ensures high performance

by reducing bottleneck. See our UASP testing results below for further details.

The hard drive dock features independently-powered SATA connectors for each individual drive, ensuring

you can operate drives separately. This gives you the freedom to hot-swap one drive while transferring

data to another, saving you time. Plus, the built-in fans keep your drives running cool, ensuring optimal

performance and helps to prevent premature drive failure.

70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 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 StarTech.com
