We’ve seen quite a number of USB 2.0 HDD docks. But we’ve now stepped into the USB 3.0 era when you need much higher speeds of data transfer, so it’s time to start eyeing for some USB 3.0 HDD docks in order to enjoy the 5Gbps of data transfer speeds. Here comes the Sharkon USB 3.0 SATA HDD dock that offers dual-drive docking which has two slots to fit for 2.5 and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives.
Each slot has its own power on/off switch, LED indicator, and there is an eject button for each which allows the ease of drive removal. This dual-drive docking station uses separate USB 3.0 interface for each drive, which should ensure more dedicated power and bandwidth for each drive.
The Sharkon USB 3.0 HDD dock ships with manual, power supply and two 2-meter USB 3.0 cables. It’s been certified by Gigabyte as working well with their new line of USB 3.0 motherboards and PCIe card. This Sharkon USB 3.0 HDD dock is now available at authorized retailers for a price of $81 (or 59.90 Euros).
