Description

StarTech SDOCKU313 Single-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station

Overview

The StarTech SDOCKU313 provides direct access to any 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drive via a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. This single-bay dock is ideal for IT professionals, system integrators, and forensic investigators who need rapid data transfer for drive imaging, data recovery, or system backups. Its plug-and-play functionality with the included 24W AC adapter simplifies deployment in environments requiring quick access to stored data, such as surveillance NVRs or server storage arrays.

Compatibility

This docking station supports all 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II, and III hard drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD) up to 16TB. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface ensures compatibility with host systems featuring USB Type-A ports, delivering a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps. It is backward compatible with USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) ports, though performance will be limited by the host port's speed. The included AC adapter provides the necessary 12V/2A power for both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives.
