Introduction

The UNIDOCK3U USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Docking Station delivers instant
access to 2.5” and 3.5” IDE or SATA hard drives through top slot-loading drive slots for
both SATA and IDE, instead of having to mount the drives into a computer or external
enclosure/tray. The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drive upright inside the
dock to keep them o the desk for convenience and a clutter free setup. Connected
to the host computer through a single USB 3.0 connection, both an IDE hard drive
and a SATA hard drive (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) can be connected to the HDD dock
simultaneously - a convenient solution for migrating data from an IDE drive to a SATA
drive or vice versa, or simply harnessing fast and simple access to the contents on both
hard drives.
