USB 3.0 4-Bay Hard Drive Dock for 2.5/3.5" SATA SSD/HDD, Hot-Swap Top-Loading (SDOCK4U33), Black - StarTech.com

This 4-bay hard drive dock allows users to connect up to four 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA HDDs or SSDs simultaneously through a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. It is designed for professionals who need to transfer, backup, or clone data quickly and efficiently without the need for additional hardware. The tool-less design makes it easy to insert or remove drives without interrupting ongoing operations.

The dock supports SATA III (6 Gbps) drives and includes UASP support for faster data transfer speeds. It can achieve up to 70% faster performance than standard USB 3.0 when used with a UASP-enabled host controller. This makes it ideal for tasks like imaging, cloning, or large file transfers that require high-speed connectivity.

Each drive bay is independently powered, allowing hot-swapping without affecting other drives in use. The unit also features dual 40mm fans to keep internal temperatures low and ensure reliable performance during extended use. The top-loading design with eject buttons provides easy access and safe removal of drives.

The dock is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS. It comes with a 3-foot USB-A cable and a universal power adapter for immediate use. However, an IDE adapter must be purchased separately if connecting older IDE drives.
