Please note that IDE/EIDE/PATA, SCSI, SAS, mSATA, and M.2 drives are not supported. No disk drive is included with purchase. Docking station connects via USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps (640MB/s), up to 10x as fast as USB 2.0 480Mbps (60MB/s). Real world transfer rate performance over USB 3.0 will vary by computer host controller and disk drive specifications UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support for even faster drive data transfer performance. (UASP functionality requires UASP capable host controller and operating system) We love our Plugable products and hope you will too. All of our products are backed with a 1-year limited parts and labor warranty and Seattle-based email support. No drivers are required for the docking station itself as it uses the standard USB mass storage class support already provided in Windows XP through 10, Mac OS X, and Linux / Unix. Windows XP through 7 users are encouraged to install updated USB 3.0 xHCI host controller drivers for best performance and stability. UASP functionality requires a UASP capable USB 3.0 host controller and operating system. Supports 8TB+ drives on 64-bit operating systems (drives less than 2TB suggested for 32-bit Windows). Please note that new/blank disk drives must be initialized, partitioned, and formatted. Mac and Windows computers cannot read Linux/Unix formatted hard drives (commonly found in network attached storage &#039;NAS&#039; devices) without special software.
