## Long description

The StarTech single-bay USB 3.1 / eSATA to SATA hard drive docking station SDOCKU313E provides fast, tool-free access to a single 2.5" or 3.5" SATA III HDD or SSD. The top-loading design accepts SATA, SATA II and SATA III drives and supports both USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-B) at up to 10 Gbps and eSATA host connections. The dock is a powered unit (110–240 V AC input, 12 V output) with a compact black plastic housing suitable for desktop use, enabling quick drive swaps for cloning, data recovery, backups, or temporary storage expansion.

How to use
Place the docking station on a stable desktop surface and connect the provided power adapter to an AC outlet. Choose either the USB Type-B (or the included Type-A to Type-C cable for USB-C hosts) or the eSATA cable to connect the dock to your computer. Power on the dock, then insert a compatible 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drive vertically into the top-loading slot until it seats. The operating system should detect the drive automatically; if needed, install drivers supplied by your OS. To remove the drive, use the eject button to release it, then pull the drive straight up and out.
Usage recommendations
Use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection for maximum transfer speeds with modern SSDs and high-performance HDDs; use eSATA when connecting to systems with dedicated eSATA ports for lower-latency transfers. Always ensure the dock is powered before inserting or removing drives to prevent data loss, and handle drives on an anti-static surface when performing sensitive data recovery or cloning tasks.
