Introduction
The SATDOCK4U2E and SATDOCK4U3E Quad SATA Docking Stations for 2.5in
and 3.5in hard drives (HDD) and solid state drives (SSD) allows for up to four
drives to be conveniently and quickly accessed from a single device.
The SATDOCK4U2E allows four SATA drives to be paired and connected over
USB 2.0, with data transfer rates up to 480Mbps, with two USB connections or
each drive can be connected individually over a dedicated eSATA connection at
up to 3Gbps, allowing for multiple computers to simultaneously interface with a
single docking station to access only a specific drive(s).
The SATDOCK4U3E features SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity (also compatible
with USB 2.0) with data transfer rates up to 5Gbps (10x faster than USB 2.0)
or eSATA with Port Multiplier connectivity up to 3Gbps. This docking station
provides fast connectivity to all 4 drives simultaneously from a single connection.

Installation
WARNING! Hard drives require careful handling, especially when
being transported. If you are not careful, lost data may result. Always
handle hard drives and storage devices with caution.
Hardware Installation
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 slot(s). Make sure
that the connectors on the hard drive are facing the same corner
of the slot that has a cutout in the door. The label on the hard drive
should face the front of the SATA docking station.
3. SATDOCK4U2E: Connect the HDD1/2 bays using either a single
USB cable (USB1) or separate eSATA cables (eSATA1/2) to a
computer(s). Connect the HDD3/4 bays using either a single USB
cable (USB2) or separate eSATA cables (eSATA3/4) to the same or
different computer(s).
SATDOCK4U3E: 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 offer 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 should light up.
5. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being
accessed by the computer and the Activity LED is not flashing, then
unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system (see
documentation for your operating system). Press the appropriate
power button to turn off 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.

Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems,
as this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already
installed.
Using the Storage Device
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data,
then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the
main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7),
then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select
Disk Management from the left window panel.
6
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the
wizard to complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk
should show up as “Healthy” with a drive letter assigned (i.e. E:). This
drive letter should now appear within My Computer.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after
plugging it in, the drive should automatically show up with a drive letter
assigned within My Computer.
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity
to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section
that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.
