The dock performs up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller to utilize the full potential of your SATA III hard drives. With support for large capacity SATA I/II/III drives (tested up to 4TB), and 2.5in or 3.5in drives this HDD/SSD docking station is compatible with virtually any SATA drive, and greatly increases the storage/backup capabilities of your computer. Extend the value of this hard drive docking station further with the addition of our SATA to IDE Hard Drive Adapter (SAT2IDEADP), allowing easy insertion of any 2.5 or 3.5in IDE hard drive into a SATA hard drive dock. To ensure compatibility with your computer system, the SDOCKU33BV 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™.
