Introduction

The SATDOCKU3SEF eSATA/USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station with Fan

delivers quick and easy access to a 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard disk drive (HDD) or solid

state drive (SSD) through either eSATA or USB connectivity, making it compatible

with almost any system. A built-in 80mm cooling fan provides increased reliability

and lifespan to HDDs, while also making them easier to handle when it comes time

to remove them from the dock. The variable fan speed control allows for on-the-fly

adjustments for any type of HDD or to balance cooling with noise. eSATA provides

data transfer rates up to 3 Gbps, while USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps while still being

backwards compatible with USB 2.0 systems at 480 Mbps. Extending the versatility

with the SATA to IDE hard drive adapter (SAT2IDEADP) allows for 2.5in or 3.5in IDE HDD

to be used in a SATA dock.
