5.25in Bay Mounted 2.5in and 3.5in SATA Hard Drive Docking Station
StarTech ID: SATADOCK525
This SATA hard drive dock/docking station can be mounted internally in a 5.25in computer drive bay, to provide
simple access to 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard drives.
Featuring a convenient trayless design, the internal hard drive dock doesn't require that hard drives be mounted in
an enclosure, saving time and hassle. Once the docking station is connected to the host computer, it's as simple as
inserting the desired SATA hard drive into the slot(s) as needed for full access to the hard drive(s) as though
installed conventionally within the computer case.
The HDD dock accommodates both 2.5in and 3.5in SATA hard drives and can support one of each at the same
time. Plus, when the 3.5in slot is not in use, two 2.5in drives can be inserted simultaneously.
The 5.25in bay-mounted SATA Hard Drive Dock features front panel power control, allowing you to power the drives
on/off as needed.
