In addition to supporting SATA hard drives and SSDs up to 4TB, this dock also increases the storage and backup capabilities of your computer. This hard drive docking station can be used with the SAT2IDEADP SATA to IDE Hard Drive Adapter (available separately) that allows easy insertion of almost any 2.5 or 3.5" IDE hard drive into the SATA hard drive dock.

A: The StarTech B&H # STSATDK2REU3 has been tested with hard drives up to 4TB. It does not mean it would not support larger drives, it just has not been officially tested by Startech. I would recommend a different product but it would lose the standalone functionality. For example: Sabrent USB 3.0 Dual Bay HDD Docking Station B&H # SAECHDD2 https://bhpho.to/2zzRNh9

Q: 6. Will this work with a SATA DVD drive?

A: The StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Drive Adapter Cable (19.7") is only designed for low-power SATA SSDs and HDDs that can receive enough power over a USB port. For an optical disc drive, you will need an enclosure designed for optical drives that has its own external power supply, like the OWC Mercury Pro Enclosure for 5.25" Optical Drive, B&H # OWCMR3UKIT.

A: USB 3 is backward compatible to USB 2. USB 3 plugged into USB 2 will only work at USB 2 speed, but the plug's the same. Plug a USB 2 into a USB 3, & it's the same. It should be fine, just won't be USB 3 speed.
