StarTech SDOCK2U33RE 2.5"-3.5" SATA/USB 3.0 Black - Dock

Mirror a 2.5"/3.5" SATA drive offline with a host computer, or connect drives via USB 3.0 or eSATA for easy access.

The SDOCK2U33RE Dual 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD Docking Station allows you to mirror/clone an existing hard drive without a host computer system, or plug and swap, simultaneously, hard drives from a desktop or laptop computer, through a single eSATA or USB port.

Versatile features
The SDOCK2U33RE offers convenient dual-purpose performance. As a duplicator, it allows you to create an exact sector-by-sector copy of one hard drive to another, including partitions and boot sector information, ensuring integrity and consistency for sensitive operations such as data recovery. As an external hard drive docking station, the SDOCK2U33RE allows individual drives to be connected via eSATA or USB, and each drive slot individually supports high-capacity 2.5" or 3.5" hard drives ( HDD) or solid state drives (SSD), which have been tested up to 4 TB.

Fast performance
Support for SATA III (6 Gbps) allows you to maximize efficiency with mirroring speeds of up to 22 GB per minute, as well as eSATA connection speeds of up to 6 Gbps. The docking station can also be connected via USB 3.0 with UASP, for transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps (70% faster than conventional USB 3.0). For more details, see the UASP test results below.

Simple use and operation
Buttons for operation/use and plug-and-play installation are features of the duplicator's simple design, for hassle-free use. The SDOCK2U33RE device enables quick connection of hard drives or initiation of hard drive mirroring with the push of a button. Additionally, the integrated LED progress bar saves time by allowing you to easily monitor the entire duplication process, so you know exactly when to start the next operation.

Improved performance with UASP
Support for UASP on Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or higher) and Linux. In tests, UASP performed with 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed, in contrast to the peak performance of conventional USB 3.0.
