See our UASP testing results below for further details. The hard drive docking station supports the fastest drive technologies including SATA III (6 Gbps), hybrid drives and solid state drives (SSD), ensuring you can save time by getting the most out of your drive performance. 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.

At the same peak in testing UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources. Testing results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP-enabled StarTech.com Enclosure, and a SATA III solid state drive.

Review: nice SATA III external enclosure. - I have several already but they are SATA II This one is III. That is double the Data Transfer Speed from 300 to 600 MB/s. Loving it, have Installed, Booted and ran several Linux Distros from an 2.5 SSD and runs af it were running directly from the onboard mboard SATA ports. copy data between drives. To install, test or run newer Linux Distros temporarily and not disturb the m.2 internal permanent distros, like Manjaro,OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux based-like distros. I wish I had bought this one before the pandemic, price has increased but still worth it. I take SATA over USB hands down.
Review: Great tool to have! - I use this all the time. I have quite a few “naked” hard drives and this works great to mount them. I had a drive that just stopped working. Totally dead. I took it apart and unscrewed the data interface and power connection and inserted it into this little contraption and drive was fine. Yes, I could have bought a new enclosure but this has two slots and I can use it on a number of drives that don’t have enclosures. I’ve had no problems with this at all. I’ll let others do benchmarks on it but it seems to work plenty fast enough. I’d buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice SATA III external enclosure.
*by H***1 on March 31, 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool to have!
*by R***O on June 13, 2020*

I use this all the time. I have quite a few “naked” hard drives and this works great to mount them. I had a drive that just stopped working. Totally dead. I took it apart and unscrewed the data interface and power connection and inserted it into this little contraption and drive was fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed
*by S***Y on March 3, 2015*

Works really well, but I was hoping for a little more. I would buy again. Here are a few things you should know: 1. It has USB3 and eSATA capabilities; however, you can only connect ONE cable at a time or it refuses to mount drives. 2. If you want to connect two drives simultaneously, then you have to use USB because it only has one eSATA port which cannot be split. 3. If you use eSATA cables, you can use either slot to insert a drive, but know only one drive can be mounted to your OS. 4. If you want blistering speeds, make sure to pair this with USB3.0 (UASP) controller. If you have a desktop, just buy StarTech's USB3.0 expansion card with UASP or another brand with UASP. Just make sure your PCIe expansion port on the MoBo supports fast transfer rates. 5. It does not have power saving mode. Drives will spin forever until you unmount them. 6. Tested a disk-to-disk cloning job with Acronis Imager. Worked perfectly and drives never got hot.
