UltraDock™ V4

Attach to IDE or SATA drives and connect via FireWire 800/400, USB 2, or eSATA

Professional Hard Drive Dock
UltraDock is WiebeTech's premier DriveDock. Sporting 5 ports on the host side, native PATA and SATA drive connections, two power options, a recessed on/off switch guard, 7 status LEDs in a strong and rugged aluminum enclosure, UltraDock becomes a must-have for any professional technician's toolbox.

One Dock to Connect Them All
On the host side, you've got quad connectivity. Connect to your computer via FireWire 800 (two ports), FireWire 400, USB2, or eSATA. All 3 FireWire ports are daisy-chainable so you can connect up to two more devices with UltraDock.

On the drive side, natively connect to 3.5" IDE/PATA drives, or 2.5"/3.5" SATA drives - no adapters necessary for these common drives.

If you need to connect to other types of drives - such as more rare 1.8" drives - UltraDock works with our line of v4 Combo Adapters *Note - *Due to new chipsets and aging ATAPI command incompatibilities, UltraDock is not currently compatible with 31000-1093-0000 (flash media adapter). UltraDock is, however, the easiest and most robust way to connect to any spinning drive.

Gobs of utility
Generation 4 provides plenty of options. In addition to its bright new color, it has new power control features and multiple powering options. Power it via a +12V adapter (included), or power it via a standard disk drive 4-pin molex power source.

Using it is easy!
Just connect the drive to the Dock, plug in power and attach a FireWire, eSATA, or USB cable to a host computer. That's all it takes. For more protection to the drive, a mounting plate (included) can be screwed onto the bottom of the drive to protect the drive's circuitry.

Exclusive LED indicators
Generation 4 is loaded with indicators: FireWire attached, USB attached, +12V input jack active, disk drive power input jack active and +5V/+12V out operational. It makes a technician's work much easier. These simple features are immensely valuable when troubleshooting a drive. It even has an on/off switch for safe drive power up and power down.

Rugged design, built to last
Grab it and go - Generation 4 is tough as nails and built to last. The small and rugged case is built from aluminum for durability.

Extend support for nearly any spinning drive
Need to access a non-standard drive? Use one of WiebeTech's own Combo Adapters to access 1.8" drives, notebook drives, drives found in iPods... almost any spinning disk. Combo Adapters work with several of our DriveDocks, including UltraDock.
