  • A media solution that simply works
Size: 2 BAY
I had tried other Sabrent products in the past to recover data from older Hard Drives bur this HD Docking Station made my life easier and works great. It's easy to setup, you just slide the disks in place, plug it and turn it on. It saved me hours of swapping disks and transferring data and it is great for backups and disk cloning. As a Network Engineer, I highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Worked for a 16TB drive
Size: 2 BAY
I use these "toasters" for additional hard drive space, copying drives for upgrades and backups. The previous ones dropped the 16TB drive I was using for ebooks and 3Dprint files for reasons unknown. Had been working fine. Drive was actually OK when directly hooked to SATA, just that the docks and system didn't want to see it. These worked fine with the existing hard drives, and run at USB 3 speed. Longevity is still unknown. I'll be testing transfer speed when copying the 16TB drive to a new one for backup purposes later today. With these, mark the drive edge with a silver marker so you know what drive is what. Previous docks had the drives wide side forward, these are edge-on. A little less shelf space used. Has a nice large activity light on the front corner for each drive. Previous make had a bar in the center with really skinny lights, hard to see. This dock style has the advantage of not requiring bolting into some kind of enclosure or tray, just drop the naked drive in right out of the box, right way 'round, and it's good to go. There are good padded flip-top storage cases for the naked drives that I use, both for the 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 inch drives. See Amazon. Recommend for laptop users that have no way for local backups. Hard drives are cheap enough now for backups. Do NOT use solid-state drives for this. MARK YOUR DRIVES! Date acquired, too. Have not needed tech support and sleep mode is unknown as yet, so no stars, no info. ... show more

  • Good device for converting internal hard drives to external ones
Size: 2 BAY
I have what is considered a poor man's RAID configuration -- a primary hard drive that is mirrored regularly to another drive. Since external drives tend to be more expensive than internal ones, I bought this hard drive bay so I could treat internal drives as external. I can also continue to swap out drives with larger-capacity ones like they are game cartridges. This is a much cheaper option than an actual RAID enclosure and doesn't require any advanced software or configuration. Keep in mind that the operating system will treat the drives separately with their own drive letters. It's up to you how you want to use the space. I did a little test and found that using the manual driving cloning feature is no faster than using a software-based backup app to mirror data between one drive and the other. Don't buy this thinking that it will rapidly clone multi-terabyte drives in minutes. It takes hours to clone the drives. Also, if your destination drive is larger than the source one, that additional space will not be partitioned. But you can extend the partition with free software available on the internet. Honestly, this doesn't offer any more functionality than what I could get with a SATA-to-USB adapter and some backup software. But it does look nicer and reduces the number of cables I need to hook up multiple drives. It's convenient if you have multiple drives that you are regularly attaching to your PC or are looking for an easy way to duplicate data between two physical drives. ... show more

  • Good external USB, but dubious duplicator
Size: 2 BAY
- IT WORKS WELL OVERALL. As an external USB drive docking station, this works well. Connecting to either a computer directly or through a Wi-Fi router that supports USB share both work, with no problems. The file transfer speed is decent. In the duplication mode, it duplicated 1.25 TB in about 12 hours, roughly about 30 MB/sec. Not super fast, but quite usable. (In comparison, the newest Synology NAS has about 100 MB/sec, but it is a whole different kind of product, a real NAS having numerous functions such as RAID, cloud file hosting, and many other things, and it costs almost 8 times as much). ISSUES WITH DUPLICATION The Duplication function, however, is dubious. My first try of duplication failed. The indicators on the device showed that the duplication was done (with all four blue lights having become steady, indicating 100% completion). But when I checked the content, I found the destination drive (slot B) only had category files instead of the actual files under the Windows directory. These machine files are completely unusable of course. That is, the duplication simply didn't work at all, after more than 12 hours of busy work. Not only that, I initially had a scare of seemingly losing all my data on the source drive. After the duplication was done, I connected to the driver through the computer and saw that all the files had disappeared! I checked both drives, and they showed the same thing. At the moment, I was terrified seeing that the duplicator not only failed to make the duplication but also managed to wipe out all my files in the source drive! Fortunately, after I disconnected all the drives, powered off the device, and then put the source drive alone back into slot A, and powered back on, it showed that all the files were still there. What a relief. Then I tried the duplication again. This time I left it untouched for a long time (overnight) even after the indicators showed completion. And it worked. All files were successfully duplicated from the drive in slot A to the drive in slot B. So, duplication does work. But it is finicky and not reliable. NO SYNCHRONIZATION Note that once the duplication is done, there is no file synchronization between the duplicated drives. One should not expect it otherwise because it is not RAID. However, interestingly, after duplication, the two drivers show up as one disk letter. That is, when both drives are inserted, you don't see two different drives, but only one drive. If you insert just one drive, it also works independently. That is, the two drives do have some kind of merge when both drives are mounted. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad. They don't have synchronization after duplication. So this makes file management very confusing after the duplication. For example, if you delete some files, on the computer you see the files were deleted (just like normally it would), but behind the scenes, only the files stored in the duplicated drive (slot B) are actually deleted. Nothing changes in the original drive (slot A). But of course, you don't see this unless you take out the duplicated drive and use the original drive alone to check. Again, because it is not RAID, it makes no sense to have both drives mounted after the duplication. It only causes confusion with this simple product. The better practice is to simply take one of the drives (either the original or the duplicated one) away, put it somewhere as an inactive backup, and use the other drive from that point on. If, after a while, you decide to update the backup, you put the backup drive back on, and do another duplication. This isn't an elegant way to manage a backup. But if you want more, you shouldn't be using a simple device like this. A real NAS with RAID is the solution. ADDITIONAL REMARKS The design of this device is questionable due to not only its potential unreliability in duplication, but also the false alarm of losing all original files (of course this is better than actually losing the files, but still, it is terrible). Another complaint: the LED lights are too bright. This is a common problem with these electronic devices, and has become a plague. RATING At this time, I rate it four stars because (1) it works as a very nice external USB drive that is quickly swappable, better than a fixed USB drive if you desire swappability; (2) duplication does work, even though very rudimentary. ... show more

  • Perfect for Upgrading SSDs!
Size: 2 BAY
This thing worked perfect! I was upgrading from a 500gb SSD to a 1TB SSD. The clone feature is easy to use and just does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Build quality is good, the price was right, and it looks cool too. 100% recommended
