External Interface USB 3.2

Number of Bay 4 Bay

  • USB 3.2 Type-C delivers up to 10Gbps transfer speed
  • Four 3.5" SATA bays support 6Gbit/s drives simultaneously
  • Aluminum construction with 90mm fan provides active heat dissipation
  • Four independent power switches enable hot-swappable drive changes
  • Locking key secures each bay against accidental opening

Four-Bay SATA Dock for Bulk Data Access

This USB 3.2 docking station accepts up to four 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs without trays. It connects via a Type-C port rated for 10Gbps and includes a 90mm fan, Kensington slot, and individual power switches for each bay. The aluminium chassis aids heat dissipation. It is suited for archivists, technicians, and anyone who needs quick, simultaneous access to multiple bare drives.

Check Host Port and Drive Compatibility

Your computer must provide a USB Type-C or Type-A port; the box supplies a Type-C to Type-A cable and a Type-A to Type-C adapter. Drives must use the SATA interface and fit the 3.5-inch form factor. The unit requires mains power from the included 100-240V auto-switching adapter. No driver installation is needed on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Replaces Single-Bay Docks and Internal Bays

This station replaces single-drive docks or spare internal bays when you regularly swap several drives for backup, recovery, or imaging. The jump is worth it if you handle multiple 3.5-inch SATA volumes and want hot-swap convenience with independent power control. It does not create RAID arrays, so software or host-based redundancy must be managed separately.

Questions about this item

What cables and accessories are included, and do I need to buy any drives separately?

The box contains the docking station, an auto-switching power adapter with power cable, a USB Type-C to Type-A cable, a Type-A to Type-C adapter, a locking key, and a quick installation guide. You must supply your own 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs.

How do I decide between the four bays when adding drives?

All four bays are identical SATA 6Gbit/s slots for 3.5-inch drives. Each bay has its own power switch, so you can populate any combination of bays and power only the ones in use.

What does the 10Gbps USB 3.2 rating mean when four drives are connected?

The 10Gbps figure is the peak bandwidth of the single USB 3.2 Type-C link to the host. That bandwidth is shared across all active drives, so sustained throughput per drive will be lower when multiple drives transfer data simultaneously.
