Four-Bay USB 3.0 SATA Dock

The StarTech SDOCK4U33 is a black plastic enclosure that lets you connect up to four 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives to a single USB 3.0 port. It uses a VL812 and ASM1053E chipset to provide SATA III 6 Gbps speeds with UASP support. Dual built-in fans keep the drives cool during extended use. The package includes the dock, a USB 3.0 cable, a universal power adapter and a manual.

Suited for multi-drive workflows.

This dock suits technicians, archivists and IT professionals who need simultaneous access to several SATA hard drives or SSDs for imaging, recovery or bulk data transfer. Hot-swap capability means drives can be inserted or removed without rebooting the host. Users who only ever work with one drive at a time, or who need a bus-powered solution for field use, should consider a simpler single-bay adapter instead.

USB 3.0 with UASP determines transfer ceiling

The external USB 3.0 interface combined with UASP protocol support is the specification that governs real-world throughput. It enables the full SATA III 6 Gbps potential of attached drives, reducing latency and CPU overhead compared with standard BOT transport. If the host system only provides USB 2.0 ports, performance will be limited to that slower standard regardless of the drive capabilities.

Questions about this item

What practical speed ceiling does the USB 3.0 connection with UASP impose on the four SATA III bays?

The USB 3.0 link runs at 5 Gbps, so total throughput across all four bays cannot exceed that bus limit even though each bay supports SATA III 6 Gbps.

What are the exact dimensions and weight I need to clear on my desk for the four-bay dock?

The unit measures 3.4 inches high by 6.7 inches wide by 11.4 inches deep and weighs 2.27 lb.

How do I install a drive and which step do people usually miss?

Slide a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drive into any bay until the 7+15 pin combo connector seats firmly; the step most people miss is pressing the drive all the way home so both data and power pins engage.
