Overview
Dock and swap up to four drives from your laptop or desktop computer simultaneously, using a single eSATA or USB port. This 4-bay docking station gives you large data capacity and fast file transfers with support for SATA I, II and III (up to 6Gbps).
Large data capacity with four drive bays
Access multiple drives with this quad-bay docking station. It saves you valuable time every day by giving you independent access to four 2.5” or 3.5” SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. Ideal for data recoveries, imaging or backups, it lets you access four drives at once, instead of connecting your drives one by one.
Versatile connection options with fast data transfers
You can connect the docking station through either eSATA or USB. For fast performance and efficient data transfers when connected through eSATA, the docking station supports full SATA III transfer speeds - up to 6Gbps. For universal compatibility, the dock can be connected through USB 3.0 with transfer speeds up 5Gbps, plus it supports UASP for enhanced performance.
Easy drive management and wide compatibility
For IT technicians or business professionals who need to check files or test different drives, the dock lets you hot-swap your drives in and out as needed. Its top-loading, toaster-style design with drive ejection buttons make the dock easy to use while two silent cooling fans help to dissipate heat to maintain an optimum operating temperature.
With support for SATA I, II and III high-capacity drives (tested up to 6TB), this docking station is compatible with virtually any 2.5” and 3.5” SATA SSD or HDD drive.
The docking station also works with 2.5” and 3.5” IDE hard drives, mSATA drives and M.2 drives using a compatible StarTech.com adapter:
IDE hard drives: Use StarTech.com adapter SAT2IDEADP SATA to 2.5in or 3.5in IDE Hard Drive Adapter for HDD Docks

M.2 drives: Use StarTech.com adapter SAT32M225 M.2 NGFF SSD to 2.5in SATA Adapter Converter
Hassle-free setup
The quad-bay dock is OS independent, which ensures a quick and easy setup. It also features a compact design and small footprint that makes it easy to tuck into your workspace.
The SDOCK4U33E is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Troubleshooting
When you troubleshoot issues with a hard drive dock or duplicator, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
- IDE, SATA, and eSATA cables
- Hard drives
- Hard drive dock or duplicator
To test your setup components, try the following:
- Use the cables, hard drives, and hard drive dock or duplicator in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
- Use a different cable, hard drive, and hard drive dock or duplicator in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the hard drive and hard drive dock or duplicator, it is recommended that you do the following:
Note: For a hard drive duplicator you may need to switch the device to PC mode (if available).
- To check Disk Management, press the Windows key + R, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Check to see if your hard drive is listed.
- Do one of the following:
- If the hard drive is listed with unallocated space, the hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right-click unallocated and click New Simple Volume. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reformatting.
Note: Formatting a hard drive erases all of the data on it. Make sure that you back up all of your data before you reformat the hard drive.
- If the hard drive is listed as healthy but does not have a drive letter, for example, C:, right-click healthy and click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add, assign a drive letter, and click OK.
Note: A formatted hard drive will not show up in Computer or My Computer until it has a drive letter assigned to it.

This docking station allows the hard drive to enforce its own power state, as opposed to enforcing a power state that keeps the hard drive active at all times. Since most newer hard drives have low-power energy conservation modes, this will cause the hard drive to enter an idle state if it is not used for a certain amount of time.
