Unitek's Multi-function USB SATA Dock Does it All

For a long time if you wanted to use an internal SATA drive outside of your computer you had to get a full USB enclosure to do so. Now we have several SATA dock stations that connect to USB ports that allow you to plug your SATA drive in like an old school video game cartridge to chose from. We have seen some docks like the SATA USB Dock Bay that only serve one purpose and we have seen other's like the Logitec offering that gives a docking bay and adds USB ports for convenience.

Brando has announced a new SATA HDD Multi-Function Dock with One Touch Backup that is able to do much more than the two other docks I mention. Not only can it dock a SATA drive, it offers a pair of USB ports and a four slot media card reader. It can work with 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives and supports both Mac and Windows. Software allows you to back up your computer to the drive in the dock with one button press as well. It's a pretty slick device even if it's a bit costly at $53.
