The Xcellon HDD-1312 Hard Drive Dock is the most convenient way to access data on an internal SATA-type drive. Inserting your drive into the dock allows you to work with your drives and eliminates having to open your computer and install them internally.
The HDD-1312 is designed for compatibility with hard disk drives and solid state drives. It accepts 2.5- or 3.5-inch SATA I/II/III drives with capacities up to 10 TB (HDD) and 8 TB (SSD). The dock is equipped with a USB Type-C™ port, and cables with USB Type-C and Standard-A connectors are included for compatibility with a wide variety of older and newer computers. The dock supports plug-and-play and hot-swapping, and it will even run off of bus power when using most 2.5-inch drives.
