This dual-drive USB 3.1 Type-C to SATA quick dock allows you to quickly and easily add extra storage space to your computer, tablet, laptop, notebook, MacBook, Ultrabook or Chromebook. The plug-and-play unit connects to your device's USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port using the included USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable. Just insert up to two 2.5- or 3.5-inch SATA drives into the top slots, and activate the on/off switch. LEDs indicate the unit is receiving power and the SATA drives are ready to use.
You can duplicate the contents of one SATA drive onto a second drive without connecting to a host computer. Just insert the SATA master drive into the unit's Master slot, and insert the SATA replica drive into the Replica slot. Press the Clone button. A progress bar illuminates to indicate cloning progress.
This USB Type-C to SATA adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. It is backward compatible with previous USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 generations, so you can use it with older USB devices and cables. It also reads data up to 70 percent faster and writes up to 40 percent faster when connected to a UASP-enabled host controller.
The dock accepts 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II and III hard disc drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs) up to 10 TB (and higher-capacity drives when they become available). It also works with all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux.
