USB 3.0 SATA III Hard Drive Docking Station SSD / HDD with integrated Fast Charge USB Hub and UASP
support for SATA 6 Gbps - Black
StarTech ID: SDOCKU33HB
The SDOCKU33HB USB 3.0 hard drive dock with Fast Charge USB hub lets you easily connect and swap
2.5in or 3.5in SATA III hard drives (HDD) and solid state drives (SSD) through an available USB port. The
enclosure supports UASP and delivers optimal performance with a USB 3.0 connection, but is also backward
compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 host connections.
The Hard Drive Dock features a built-in 3-port USB 3.0 Hub that enables you to connect up to 3 additional USB
3.0 devices to your computer through the same USB connection. One of the ports on the hub also has Fast
Charging capabilities, that charges iPad’s and other mobile devices as effectively as through a wall plug. This
Fast Charge Port has been specially designed for compatibility with a wide range of tablets and smartphones.
Enhanced with UASP, the dock supports up to 70% faster performance than conventional USB 3.0 when paired
with a UASP-enabled host controller. Using a more efficient protocol than the traditional USB BOT (Bulk-Only
Transport), UASP reduces latency, significantly increasing transfer speeds to utilize the full potential of your
SATA III hard drives.  See our UASP testing results below for further details.
With support for SATA I/II/III, large capacity drives (tested up to 4TB), and 2.5in or 3.5in hard drives this
HDD/SSD docking station is compatible with virtually any SATA hard drive, and greatly increases the
storage/backup capabilities of your computer. Plus, configurable power management reduces energy
consumption, and extends the life of your drives by avoiding unnecessary access.
To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the SDOCKU33HB supports all of the leading operating
systems, including: Microsoft Windows® (8/7/Vista/XP/Server 2008/Server 2003), Apple® OSX
(10.9/10.8/10.7/10.6), Linux, and Google Chrome OS™.
The SDOCKU33HB is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Improved Performance with UASP
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70%
faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.
