Single-bay SATA dock for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives

The StarTech.com SDOCKU313 is a desktop enclosure that accepts one 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD. It connects to a host computer through a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface rated at 10 Gbps and supports UASP for reduced protocol overhead. The top-loading tray includes an eject button for quick drive swaps. It is backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.x ports.

Sustained transfer limited by SATA

Under continuous workloads the dock delivers throughput bounded by the SATA III link at 6 Gbps rather than the USB 3.1 Gen 2 ceiling. UASP helps maintain efficiency during long sequential reads or writes, but the single-bay design has no active cooling, so extended heavy I/O on high-capacity mechanical drives may lead to thermal throttling. The included universal power adapter supplies consistent power for both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch units during prolonged operation.

Drive capacity ceiling of 6 TB

The enclosure supports SATA I, II and III drives up to a maximum capacity of 6 TB. Drives larger than 6 TB are not supported by this model. Users needing to access higher-capacity volumes or multiple drives simultaneously will require a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the dock run silently and stay cool during all-day use?

The unit has no fan, so it operates silently; heat depends on the installed drive and airflow around the 2.6" × 3.7" × 5.7" enclosure.

What cables and power gear come in the box so I can start without extra purchases?

A USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable, a universal power adapter with NA, EU, UK and AUS plugs, and a quick install guide are included.

Will a SATA III drive at 6 Gbps reach full speed when connected through the USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps port?

Yes, the dock supports SATA I, II and III up to 6 Gbps and the USB 3.1 Gen 2 link provides 10 Gbps bandwidth with UASP for low overhead.
