4 Bay SATA Duplicator Dock

The StarTech SATDOCK4U3RE is a standalone cloning station that copies one SATA drive to three targets at once. It accepts 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch drives up to 3TB each and connects to a host via USB 3.0 or eSATA. Two 60 mm fans provide active cooling during long duplication jobs.

Suits high volume cloning not single drive access

IT technicians and data recovery labs who need to replicate one source onto multiple drives simultaneously will benefit from the 1:3 duplication mode. Users who only need to read or write a single drive at a time should consider a simpler single bay dock instead.

1 to 3 simultaneous copy decides fit

The defining specification is the hardware duplication engine that clones a single SATA drive to three targets without a host computer. If your workflow requires one to many cloning this dock matches the requirement; if you need one to one or one to many beyond three it does not.

Questions about this item

How long can the SATDOCK4U3RE run a 1-to-3 duplication before the 60 mm fans hit their thermal limit?

The two 60 mm fans are designed for continuous operation during extended 1-to-3 cloning sessions; no duty-cycle limit is published.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the dual 60 mm fans during an all-day copy job?

Two 60 mm fans move enough air to keep drives cool during sustained use; acoustic output is typical for a desktop dock.

Which host connection — USB 3.0 Type-B or eSATA — must my computer already have for the duplicator to function?

The dock requires either a USB 3.0 Type-B port or an eSATA port on the host system for PC-linked operation.
