Usb 3.0 Sata Hard Dock Provide A 2 - Port Pci Express Usb 3.0 Adapters

This USB 3.0 to SATA HDD Docking Station Adapter turns any 2.5"/3.5" internal SATA Hard drive into a convenient external drive. Easily transfer files from computer or notebook, back up files, or store large file archives on hard drives. The Super Speed USB interface provides for easy installation with its Plug and Play, hot-swappable design.

A leading manufacturer of hard-to-find know-how & connectivity parts, today announced the availability of two variations of their usb 3.0 sata hdd dock Stations. The SATDOCKU3SP & the SATDOCKU3SE offer users USB 3.0 host connection options, including a 2-port PCI Express USB 3.0 adapter & 2-port ExpressCard USB 3.0 host adapter respectively.

New USB 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Station offers easy accessibility to bare 2.5in & 3.5in SATA hard drives, without having to put in the drives within a computer process or a hard drive enclosure. Also available with an included ExpressCard USB 3.0 host adapter or PCI Express host adapter .

"The SATDOCKU3SP & SATDOCKU3SE hard drive docking stations offer users major value by providing the necessary USB 3.0 host adapters," said Carey Cline, Senior Product Manager for StarTech.com. "By bundling the docking station & the adapters, users get everything they require to take advantage of USB 3.0 speeds & reliability all in one package, & won't must rely on backward compatibility with earlier USB standards to access outside data".

For laptop/notebook applications, the SATDOCKU3SE package includes the USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station & 2-port ExpressCard USB 3.0 host adapter MSRP: $118.99 (USD)

For desktop applications, the SATDOCKU3SP package includes the USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station with a 2-port PCI Express USB 3.0 host adapter MSRP: US$62.99(USD)

Features of the USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station include:

•Support for either SATA 2.5in or SATA 3.5in hard drives
•Support for USB 3.0, USB 2.0 & USB 1.0/1.1 connections to host computer
•Supports minimum transfer rates of 5 Gbps with USB 3.0 (480 Mbps with USB 2.0). Actual speed will be contingent on the hard drive's performance
•Easy-to-use design, including hard drive release button
•Hot-swappable, plug-and-play drive operation

About USB 3.0

USB 3.0 is the latest revision to the Universal Serial Bus standard to be promoted by the USB Implementers Forum. Also called "SuperSpeed" USB, the interface supports information transfer rates up to a theoretical 5 Gbps, & remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 know-how (operating at USB 2.0 speeds), offering a high performance, highly versatile peripheral connection.

Which are the differences between a PCI bus and a SCSI bus?

I need to know if they are serial or parallel, synchronization techniques (synchronichal or asynchronichal) and how are they arbitrated (centralizad or distributed).

thanks!!

Interesting.....
The PCI bus is designed to be a parallel interface.....Each device plugged in uses an IRQ or interrupt request to access the cpu and perform its function. Usually designed for modem cards, network cards or any number of other add in's. The bus used is direct to the south bridge chip, that controls input and output to the cpu.

The SCSI (sometimes called scuzzy, or sexy) is only used for storage devices like hard drives. An older technology, it used to be the fastest, but the IDE devices are now exceeding its speed. It is a parallel/serial type of bus. Devices are plugged in parallel on the bus, but a device must be placed on the end to give a serial signal back to the controller.

Both use the south bridge as its controller, but SCSI must have an interface controller to connect to the bridge. I would say in short, both are parallel connections, both use IRQ and DMA access to synchronize. Devices one each bus, only request access on the bus, so are independent of each other and not synchronized as such. Arbitration is achieved by the south bridge chip, controlling input and output to external devices.

Hope this helps friend, there is a lot to your question.
