Description

StarTech SDOCKU313E Single-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station

Overview

The StarTech SDOCKU313E provides direct access to 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, crucial for forensic data recovery, drive imaging, or quick data transfers in surveillance environments. This single-bay dock connects to your system via USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps or eSATA at 6 Gbps, allowing you to mount and access drives without installing them internally. It supports drives up to 16TB, accommodating large surveillance recordings or system backups. The unit's compact, plastic construction and included power adapter make it a straightforward addition to any workstation.

Compatibility

This docking station is compatible with any operating system that supports USB 3.0 or eSATA, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports standard SATA I, II, and III hard drives and SSDs in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors, up to a capacity of 16TB. It is designed for use with systems that have available USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) or eSATA ports for optimal performance. For surveillance applications, this means you can quickly access footage from removed drives or prepare new drives for deployment.
