StarTech SDOCK2U33 Dual-bay Hard Drive Dock

Overview

The StarTech SDOCK2U33 provides direct access to two SATA hard drives, supporting both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors. This dual-bay dock is ideal for IT professionals needing rapid data access for drive imaging, data recovery, or forensic analysis without installing drives into a host system. Its USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface ensures fast data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, making it a practical tool for managing surveillance footage archives or testing new drives.

Compatibility

This dock supports any 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA I, II, or III hard drives or SSDs. It connects to any computer or system equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher, backward compatible with USB 3.0/2.0) Type-A port. The included 12V/3A AC adapter provides ample power for two drives simultaneously.

Installation Notes

The dock operates within a temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). It requires a standard 100-240V AC power outlet for the included adapter. The drive insertion rating of 15,000 cycles ensures long-term reliability for frequent drive swaps.
