Sabrent Releases 5-Bay USB-C Docking Station For 2.5″ SATA Drives With Active Cooling

Jakob Aylesbury / 6 months ago

Sabrent has released a new USB-C docking station which is capable of hosting up to five 2.5″ HDDS or SSDs and keeping them cool with a built-in fan.

Sabrent 5-Bay USB-C Docking Station

The new DS-5R15 is a 5-Bay docking station that connects through a fast USB-C Gen 3.2 connection with up to 10Gbps speeds. It is capable of hosting up to 5 2.5″ SSDs or HDDs up to 15mm in height and each drive can be used simultaneously and independently over the USB-C connection. The drives are also tool-free and hot-swap compatible allowing you to remove and add drives when needed without worry. The dock is powered by a 12V?3A power adapter so you won’t be limited to USB-C power and can ensure reliable and stable power.

One of the key features is the included 80mm cooling fan which aids in heat dissipation as five drives all running at once in a confined space can produce a fair bit of heat. This fan can be controlled with a button on the front of the unit so there is no worry about unnecessary noise. Under the fan control button is also LEDS to indicate the status of each drive.
