Introduction

The SATDOCK4U3RE USB 3.0 and eSATA Standalone 1-to-3 Hard Drive Duplicator

allows for a single SATA hard drive to be duplicated/cloned on up to three other SATA

drives simultaneously. It can also function as a regular 4-bay hard drive docking station

by connecting to a host computer system. Able to perform 1:3 sector duplication,

including HPA, from a single SATA drive onto three others simultaneously at a rate of

up to 72 MB/s, this duplicator can save time and eort. As an external dock, it can be

connected to your host computer through USB 3.0 or eSATA, providing data transfer

speeds up to 5 Gbps or 3Gbps respectively from the hard drives to your computer

system. Features Quick and Secure Erase functions and support for IDE hard drives with

an included SATA to IDE hard drive adapter (SAT2IDEADP).

Installation

WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling,

especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk,

lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with

caution. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static

strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any

static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such

as the computer case) for several seconds.

Hardware Installation (Docking Station/PC Mode)

1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive docking station to an AC

power outlet.

2. Insert 2.5in or 3.5in hard drive(s) into the top loading drive bay(s). Make sure that

the SATA connectors on the hard drive are facing the same corner of the drive bay

that has the 2.5in cutout in the door. The label on the hard drive should face the

front of the SATA docking station.

3. Connect the included USB cable or eSATA cable from the hard drive docking station

to an available USB or eSATA port on the computer system. The computer can be ON

or OFF.

NOTE: If using eSATA, please note that the eSATA port on the host computer

system must provide Port Multiplier support. If the eSATA port does not oer Port

Multiplier support, only one of the installed SATA drives will be accessible.

4. Press the power buttons on the top of the hard drive docking station for each of the

bays that contain a hard drive. The Power LED around the power buttons will light

up. The LCD display will also light up and display”PC Mode”. This indicates the unit

is in Docking Station mode.

5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the

computer and the Activity LED is not ashing, then unmount or uninstall the disk

drive from the operating system (see documentation for your operating system).

Press the appropriate power button to turn o the hard drive and wait for the drive

to power down. Press the drive ejection button on the top of the hard drive dock to

the release the drive, then pull the drive from the slot.

Hardware Installation (Duplicator)

1. Connect the external power adapter from the hard drive docking station to an AC

power outlet.

2. Insert 2.5”or 3.5”hard drive(s) into the top loading drive bay(s). The drive containing

the data to copy (Source) needs to be inserted into the“Source” bay (HDD4). Make

sure that the SATA connectors on the hard drives are facing the same corner of the

drive bay that has the 2.5in cutout in the door. The label on the hard drive should

face the front of the SATA docking station.

3. Press the power buttons on the top of the hard drive docking station for each of the

bays that contain a hard drive. The Power LED around the power buttons should

light up. The LCD display will also light up and display”PC Mode”.

4. Press the“ENT” button on the front panel of the unit. A message will appear

advising that this will change the unit to Duplicator Mode.

5. Press the“ENT” button again and a conrmation message will appear. Press the

“ENT”button again to switch to Duplicator Mode. Pressing “ESC”will cancel this

action.
