Sabrent recently released a 5-bay docking station for 2.5″ SATA SSDs and HDDs with a built-in cooling fan. Nowadays, SATA SSDs are less popular than the M.2 SSD, more so a 2.5″ hard disk drive. I don’t know who even uses 2.5″ SATA HDDs; those things are very fragile and easy to break. But if you ever need a docking station for backing up or copying/migrating files, Sabrent has a solution for you.
SABRENT’s New 5-Bay USB-C Docking Station for 2.5″ SATA HDDs and SSDs with a Built-in Cooling Fan (DS-5R15) is designed to easily dock from one to five 2.5″ drives, each up to 15mm in height.
Need a hassle-free solution to accommodate up to five 2.5″ drives in your setup? Look no further than Sabrent’s 5-Bay USB-C Docking Station. Specifically designed for 2.5″ SATA HDDs and SSDs, the DS-5R15 lets you effortlessly expand your storage or dock drives for various tasks like backups and sizable file transfers. It’s a convenient choice with tool-free, hot-swappable, and plug-and-play functionality. Connectivity is swift over a 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2×1) cable, and to ensure stability and reliability, we’ve included a 12V/3A external power supply, bypassing USB power limitations.
Managing multiple drives can generate heat during extended use, but Sabrent’s solution includes built-in active cooling with an 80mm fan. You can easily switch off the fan if you prefer a quieter operation. LED indicators clearly display the fan status, individual drive bays, and the docking station. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux PCs, this docking station accommodates drives up to 15mm in height for versatile use on various devices. Simplify your storage management effortlessly.
