The USB 3.1 Dual-Bay Dock for 2.5"/3.5" SATA SSDs/HDDs from Startech provides users with a convenient way to access data on an internal SATA drive without needing to install that drive in their computer. Using this dock's dual SATA III 6 Gb/s drive bays, each of which supports 2.5" and 3.5" drives, users can access data on hard drives and solid-state drives using 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 connectivity, which is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2. This drive dock is equipped with a USB 3.1 Type-B connector and is able to interface with your host system using its included USB 3.1 Type-B to Type-A cable. In addition to USB 3.1 compatibility, this unit is also compatible with USB 3.0 at speeds up to 5 Gb/s, USB 2.0 at speeds up to 480 Mb/s, and USB 1.1 at speeds up to 12 Mb/s. Given this wide range of compatibility, as well as its OS-independent architecture, the USB 3.1 Dual-Bay Dock can connect to virtually any system with a USB Type-A port, while its compatibility with SATA III 6 Gb/s, SATA II 3 Gb/s, and SATA 1.5 Gb/s drives mean that it supports most available storage solutions. Also included with this drive dock is a universal power adapter and four power adapter plugs for North America, the EU, UK, and Australia.

StarTech SDOCK2 Reviews
Great for drives from older computers.
By Ian

My new drives are formatted differently than my 2008 mac pro drives and what the old operating system would recognize. So to copy all my mac Pro 2008 drives to my new computer it helped me to pull drives from the 2008 machine and play them in this player.
Wouldn't power up.

Anxious to do an archival backup of data for a documentary project, the dock would not power up. StarTech is sending me a replacement and will see how I feel about it then!
