Description

StarTech SDOCK4U313 Quad-Bay Hard Drive Dock

Overview

The StarTech SDOCK4U313 provides direct access to up to four 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives through a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. This is critical for surveillance system administrators needing to quickly swap, image, or access large volumes of recorded footage from multiple drives. Its robust design with integrated cooling ensures drives operate within optimal temperature ranges during intensive data transfer operations, supporting up to 6 Gbps per drive.

Compatibility

This dock is compatible with any standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA I, II, or III hard drives or SSDs. It connects to host systems via USB 3.2 Gen 2, providing backward compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, albeit at reduced speeds. It is designed for use with operating systems that support UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for enhanced performance, including Windows 8 and later, and macOS 10.8 and later. This makes it suitable for integration with NVRs or dedicated workstations used for video evidence management.

Installation Notes

The unit requires a 100-240V AC input, drawing up to 2.0A, and outputs 12V DC at 6500mA via the included power adapter, consuming a maximum of 78 Watts. Operating temperature range is 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Storage temperature range is -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F). Humidity should be kept between 20% and 80% RH (non-condensing). The dock features two 60mm cooling fans, contributing to a noise level of 19.04 dBA, ensuring drives remain cool without excessive acoustic impact.
