Charge Port has been specially designed for compatibility with a wide range of tablets and smartphones.

With support for UASP, the dock performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, when paired with a UASP­enabled host controller to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives.

docking station is compatible with virtually any SATA hard drive, and greatly increases the
storage/backup capabilities of your computer. Plus, the dock features configurable power management, which
reduces energy consumption and helps extend the life of your drives by avoiding unnecessary access..

(SAT2IDEADP), allowing easy insertion of any 2.5 or 3.5in. IDE hard drive into a SATA hard drive dock.
