Code:EXT.VAN.DOCKFW
Description:
The NexStar Hard Drive Dock makes it utterly simple to connect a bare SATA drive to your computer! Just take a 2.5? or 3.5? drive and drop it into the dock like bread in a toaster. The drive mounts on your computer using either USB 2.0, IEE1394 Firewire or eSATA. Exchange files between the drive and your PC at up to 3.0Gbps. When you’re done, just press the “eject” button! Includes USB cable, eSATA cable, external to internal SATA converter, AC adapter, and drivers on a MiniCD. SATA hard drives not included.
Specifications:
- - - The Vantec NexStar Hard Drive Dock supports both 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA I/II drives. That means, IDE need not apply. The USB 2.0 boasts transfer rates up to 480Mbps while the eSATA takes that right up to 3Gbps. As you can see, there is a potential pay off in speed here. The unit is made entirely of plastic and measures 136 x 83 x 87 mm so it should fit even in the tightest spaces. Out of the box, the unit supports both Mac OS 8.6 and above and almost all flavours of Windows from 98SE and above. It even supports Linux with Kernels 2.4.18 and above. Of course, you’ll need a IEE1394 Firewire port, USB 2.0 port to get the full USB experience, and an eSATA or SATA port for maximum performance.
