Need to quickly connect to a bare hard drive? Or how about diagnose a drive that is causing trouble?

The CRU® WiebeTech® UltraDock™ is perfect for tasks such as these. The UltraDock connects to any bare hard drive-IDE/PATA, SATA, or other types with optional adapters-so you can access, read, set up, diagnose, or repair it. An intuitive LCD and menu makes it convenient to view drive information and perform tasks. You can even detect, remove, create, or modify Host Protected Areas (HPAs) and Device Configuration Overlays (DCOs).

The UltraDock puts drive information at your fingertips. Quickly access important SMART data such as hours in use, number of power cycles, and disk health. It can also display the model and serial number reported by the drive's firmware.

The newest UltraDock model, UDv5.5, offers USB 3.0, USB 2.0, eSATA, and FireWire 800 connections so you can connect to any computer. It works natively with most drives, but if you need to work with a non-standard drive, or to encrypt one, there are a variety of adapters available for additional flexibility.

Additional features:

• Rugged aluminum construction
• 3-year warranty
• Free US-based customer support

Whether you're an IT manager, technician, or hobbyist, the UltraDock is a great addition to your toolkit. Find a reseller near you or buy online.
