PRODUCT PICTORIAL AND WALKTHROUGH

The bright white color of this HDD dock makes it an attractive addition to any desk and the size is small enough that it won't take up a lot of space. The unit is just over five inches wide, 4 ½ inches tall and 3 ½ inches deep.

Right in front is a large power button along with blue LED indicators for power and drive activity. When the unit is powered on the blue LEDs look nice against the white.

A top-down view shows the slots for hard drives as well as an eject button for each slot. Both 2.5” and 3.5” drives are compatible with this dock.

The back of the unit features a USB 3.0 port and a socket for the AC adapter. Vantec keeps it simple, and that's a good thing.

On the bottom of the dock are four rubber pads to keep the unit from sliding around, as well as a handy sticker that lists out the main specs of the unit. This is a nice addition by Vantec as it can help quickly answer basic questions about the unit.
