The Plugable USBC-SATA-V is a single-bay SATA hard drive/SSD dock solution featuring a convenient toolless design as well as a vertical cartridge-style hot-swap system and driverless, plug-and-play installation. The disk dock supports all 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA I, II, and III hard drives, solid state drives, and hybrid drives up to any capacity (8TB+) using the latest ASMedia ASM1351E SATA III to USB 3.1 Gen 2 bridge chipset and advanced firmware with USB Attached SCSI protocol (UASP) and bulk-only transfer (BOT) transfer support for maximum features and performance. The ASM1351E is a single chip solution built with advanced process technology to optimize both power consumption and performance compared to previous generations of USB-to-SATA bridge ICs.
The SATA-V is perfect for a wide array of tasks and has many advantages over traditional external hard drives. Some common uses include recovering data off of disk drives pulled from non-working computers, cloning drives, and using inexpensive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) drives to use as rotating and off-site backups.
Any standard SATA interface drive is supported from traditional 3.5 inch mechanical spinning disk drives to 2.5 inch solid state drives. Hybrid drives (combination spinning disk and solid state) are also supported.
Drives up to 8TB have been tested and confirmed compatible and the dock supports 48-bit LBA which should support drives as large as 128 PiB (Pebibyte) assuming the host computer operating system supports drives of that size.
This drive dock is our fastest yet and connects via USB 3 10Gbps supporting SATA III drives with data transfer rates up to 6Gbps (750MBps), up to 12x as fast as USB 2.0 at 480Mbps (60MBps).
For best performance we recommend connecting this adapter to a USB port capable of 10Gbps, or Thunderbolt 3 port, a USB (5Gbps) port is also compatible but may not perform quite as fast. Real world transfer speeds depend on the host computer's USB controller and connected drive performance specifications.
Our SATA dock supports the latest LBA48 addressing mode, 512e & 4K sector Advanced Format disk drives, and both MBR and GPT Partition Tables.
Supporting both BOT (Bulk-Only Transfer) and UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for faster transfer speeds on modern systems.
The DockConstructed of heavy duty ABS plastic, the upright vertical docking bay was designed for hassle free docking and undocking of bare/internal SATA disk drives with no wires to connect. Single blue LED reports drive activity (solid blue for power, blinking for drive activity). Toggle switch for powering off drive when not in use. Drive sleeps automatically after 10 minutes of idle time to conserve power and reduce heat. |
