SATADock™ v4

News: January 2010
SATADock v4 is disctontinued. This page remains for reference only.

For a superior replacemnt please see UltraDock v4.

More features for accessing SATA drives!
SATADock v4 is a perfect solution for anyone who deals with bare SATA drives. It quickly attaches drives via FireWire 800 (400* compatible) or USB. Dual FireWire 800 ports allow daisy-chaining for more versatility. The FireWire bridge chip is the 924 from Oxford Semiconductor, and it features even higher speed transfer rates compared to the original SATADock.

Gobs of utility
Generation 4 provides plenty of options. In addition to its bright new color, it has new power control features and multiple powering options. Power it via a +12V adapter (included), or power it via a standard disk drive 4-pin molex power source.

Using it is easy!
Just connect the drive to the Dock, plug in power and attach a FireWire or USB cable to a host computer. That's all it takes. For more protection to the drive, a mounting plate can be screwed onto the bottom of the drive to protect the drive's circuitry.

Generation 4 is loaded with indicators: FireWire attached, USB attached, +12V input jack active, disk drive power input jack active and +5V/+12V out operational. It makes a technician's work much easier. These simple features are immensely valuable when troubleshooting a drive. It even has an on/off switch for safe drive power up and power down.

Rugged design, built to last
Grab it and go - Generation 4 is tough as nails and built to last. The small and rugged case is built from aluminum for durability.

*FireWire 800 ports are FireWire 400 host compatible (a FireWire 800-400 cable or adapter such as WiebeTech's Cable-11 is necessary for use with FireWire 400 ports).
