|
StarTech.com announces the ultimate USB device with the |
|
Combination 4 Bay SATA Drive Dock and Toaster! |
|
Backup your data and fulfil your need for warm breakfast |
|
pastries with the SATDOCKTOAST4 from StarTech.com |
|
StarTech.com, Cloud Nine, April 1st, 2011: StarTech.com, the |
|
world�s leading provider of hard-to-find connectivity parts has |
|
announced the introduction of the SATDOCKTOAST4, a dual use four |
|
port 3.5inch SATA dock and breakfast pastry toaster. Driven by |
|
the need for high speed transfer of large volumes of data, being |
|
able to have 4 SATA drives engaged in the dock at one time means |
|
users can now back up and move data like never before! |
|
Additionally, with the drive connected to a USBp port, users can |
|
warm a wide variety of breakfast pastries such as pop tarts, |
|
toast, bagels and crumpets though the device is compatible with |
|
other types of legacy pastries as well. |
|
The SATDOCKTOAST4 features SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity (also |
|
compatible with USB 2.0) with data transfer rates up to 5Gbps |
|
(10x faster than USB 2.0) or eSATA with Port Multiplier |
|
connectivity up to 3Gbps. This docking station provides fast |
|
connectivity to all 4 drives simultaneously from a single |
|
connection. |
|
The SATDOCKTOAST4 is able to warm your pastry of choice in under |
|
2 minutes (subject to manufacturers cooking guidelines. Caution |
|
is advised however as the filling may be hot.) |
|
StarTech.com Product Manager, Avril Bobo said �This is may be |
|
our hardest-to-find product yet and represents a major |
|
breakthrough in the highly competitive data/pastry market. |
|
Utilising USB 3.0 and USBp means that StarTech.com is able to |
|
establish an industry leading position where breakfast and data |
|
merge in the market sphere. Being able to keep an employee at |
|
his desk, working an eating, has been the Holy Grail for data |
|
management for some time now.� |
|
She continued, �The SATDOCKTOAST4 is set to succeed where other |
|
devices, such as the USB kettle or the USB memory stick, have |
|
failed because of its dual purpose design and StarTech.com�s |
|
speed in adapting to, and taking advantage of, new technologies. |
|
You don�t get this kind of innovation with a Morphy Richards |
|
toaster, do you?!� |
|
The SATDOCK4U3E has a little brother in the SATDOCK4U2E which |
|
supplies four ports for 2.5 inch drives and allows four SATA |
|
drives to be paired and connected over USB 2.0, with data |
|
transfer rates up to 480Mbps, with two USB connections or each |
|
drive can be connected individually over a dedicated eSATA |
|
connection at up to 3Gbps, allowing for multiple computers to |
|
simultaneously interface with a single docking station to access |
|
only a specific drive(s). |

|
Talking about the SATDOCK4U2E Ms. Bobo commented, �The smaller |
|
drive bays are not suitable for full size pop-up tarts so we |
|
suggest users buy those smaller loaves of bread and toast them |
|
instead. Tesco�s does a nice whole grain one from the bakery |
|
section, but it�s not sliced, which is something we�re look to |
|
address with the next generation of graphics tablets that will |
|
feature a bacteria free cutting surface and built-in shrink-wrap |
|
dispenser� |
|
Both docks will come in a variety of colours to match most |
|
kitchen/office environments. |
|
For more information, please contact your local supermarket |
|
electrical department, quoting reference: Polar Foil. |
|
For those who strictly require data transfer capabilities |
|
without toasting, StarTech.com offers a wide selection of hard |
|
drive docks and duplicators. More information can be found at |
