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
