The DataPort 25 SATA Dock enables users to hot-swap two 2.5” SATA
hard drives on devices that support USB storage. The DataPort 25 SATA
Dock combines the small size and high storage capacity of SATA with the
convenience of USB. The DataPort 25 SATA Dock is ideal for data backups,
sharing data between computers and adding more drive space on the fly for
computers with available drive bays. The DataPort 25 SATA Dock provides
portability with the USB host, as well as the high performance of SATA
when the carrier is installed into a SATA frame.
