Featuring USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectivity with UASP support, it enables blazing-fast data transfers and simultaneous hot-swapping of two drives. Its tool-free, top-loading design and dedicated eject buttons streamline drive access, while compatibility across PC, Mac, and Unix systems makes it the go-to solution for IT professionals and data enthusiasts seeking efficient, versatile storage management. ## Description The dual hard drive docking station with UASP enables you to instantly access 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 external 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. The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drives upright inside the USB 3.0 hard drive docking station, neatly keeping them off the desk, for convenience and a clutter-free setup. For SATA drives, the SATA HDD/SSD docking station 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. The universal HDD docking station has a single USB 3.0 connection to your host computer, enables access to both the IDE & SATA hard drives simultaneously. Review: Works exactly as described - Works exactly as described. Meets my expectations. I was surprised at the ease of use. The plug and play feature of Windows better known as a plug and pray seemed to install the unit with no hitches. It sees an inserted drive in the same way it would a USB flash drive allowing you to use it for data storage or to perform other functions with the associated drive. Not sure if it would provide a bootable drive option. I suppose that would depend on your boot order in the bios. I have not tried the clone or copy feature yet but so far it seems to work as advertised. Review: Just when you think that something doesn't exist -here it is! - I had every hard drive that I have ever had in a box with the intention that someday I would add them to a new computer to copy all of my artwork and written music. Never happened until I brazenly type in USB harddrive Dock. Lo and behold this unit appeared first. Kind of funny because even though I worked in the IT industry I never knew they existed and when I described what I wanted to do to another techie they would scrunch up their nose and say that such a beast does not exist. This worked perfectly without any computer complaints or error messages. ## Features - HARD DRIVE DOCKING STATION: This 2-bay hard drive dock enables access to 2.5/3.5" SATA and IDE hard drives for file backup, disk imaging, or data transfer over USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) - Toolless design facilitates quick drive hot-swapping. - DRIVE COMPATIBILITY: Supports 2.5/3.5" SATA I/II/III SSDs/HDDs and IDE HDDs (40 pin, EIDE/PATA) - OS independent - Includes 4.7" (12cm) IDE, LP4, and 3ft (1m) USB-A cables and universal power adapter - PERFORMANCE: Power and eject buttons for each bay enables hot-swapping of an idle drive while the other bay is in use - Dedicated slots for SATA (slot 1), and IDE (slot 2) - Drive bays with 15,000 insertion/removal cycle rating for maximum durability. - SPECS: 2-Bay Hard Drive Dock - SATA I/II/III and IDE (40 pin, EIDE/PATA 66/100/133 MBps) -USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Host Connection - Toolless Design - Hot-Swappable Drive Bays - Top-Loading with Eject Button - LED Activity Lights - THE IT PRO’S CHOICE: Designed and built for IT Professionals, this Dual-Bay Hard Drive Dock is backed for 2 years, including free lifetime 24/5 multilingual technical assistance. - Connect both an IDE and a SATA 2.5 & 3.5in HDD or SSD to your computer using USB 3.0, with support for UASP for optimal performance - works with USB desktop & laptop computers and SATA & IDE drives such as Samsung 840 EVO - hard drive dock / HDD & SSD docking station / hard drive dock / SSD dock / HDD dock - Test or benchmark virtually any hard drive or solid state drive - Transfer files directly between SATA and IDE drives without a host computer - Replacement for UNIDOCK3U & UNIDOCK3UEU ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00T0ZRAOK | | Best Sellers Rank | #306 in Enclosures | | Compatible Devices | PC; Mac; Unix | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (208) | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Gigabits Per Second | | Date First Available | February 1, 2015 | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Flash Memory Size | 2000 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030859813 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Drive | mechanical_hard_drive | | Hard Drive Interface | SCSI | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 7.28 x 4.72 x 8.27 inches | | Item Weight | 1.12 pounds | | Item model number | UNIDOCKU33 | | Manufacturer | Startech.com | | Max Number of Supported Devices | 1 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 2 TB | | National Stock Number | 0 | | Operating System | PC; Mac; Unix | | Product Dimensions | 7.28 x 4.72 x 8.27 inches | | Series | UNIDOCKU33 | | UPC | 065030859813 650308598138 724627256076 723856188929 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Hardware Platform:** PC, laptop - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![UNIDOCKU33 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aLWix9fCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does anyone have an alternative power cord recommendation?
