Introduction The UNIDOCK3U USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Docking Station delivers instant access to 2.5” and 3.5” IDE or SATA hard drives through top slot-loading drive slots for both SATA and IDE, instead of having to mount the drives into a computer or external enclosure/tray. The slot-loading design holds the SATA and IDE drive upright inside the dock to keep them off the desk for convenience and a clutter free setup. Connected to the host computer through a single USB 3.

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.
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.
