StarTech SDOCKU33BV USB 3.0 SATA Drive Dock
Overview
The StarTech SDOCKU33BV provides a direct connection for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs to a host system via USB 3.0. This dock is essential for quickly accessing surveillance footage stored on drives, performing data recovery, or cloning drives without needing to install them internally. Its plug-and-play functionality and support for UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) ensure rapid data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, making it suitable for environments where quick drive access is critical, such as forensic analysis or rapid deployment of new storage.
Compatibility
This drive dock is compatible with all 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II, and III SSDs and HDDs. It connects to any host system with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) Type-A port, offering broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, as well as many network video recorders (NVRs) and other surveillance appliances that feature a standard USB-A port for external storage access.
Installation Notes
The drive is simply placed into the dock's slot; no tools are required for drive installation. The unit requires an external power source via the included 12V DC AC adapter, which supports universal input voltage (100-240V AC). Operating temperature range is 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
