  • Solid and Reliable - A Good Upgrade from My Previous Dock
Size: 2 BAY
I've been using the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Docking Station for about two weeks now, and I'm generally pleased with its performance. I replaced my old SSK dock with this one after it failed within a year, and so far, this Sabrent dock has been a more reliable choice. The speeds on this dock are definitely an improvement over my old one. I've connected my Synology Disk Station to the dock via USB, and I've achieved transfer speeds of up to 120 MBps. Response times are also snappy, making it easy to transfer files and data. While I haven't had time to thoroughly stress-test this dock, it's been working smoothly so far. The power delivery seems stable, and my hard drive has been running without issues. I appreciate the compact design and the fact that it's easy to set up. Overall, I'm glad I made the switch. This Sabrent dock is a solid upgrade from my previous one, and I'm hoping it will last longer. If you're looking for a reliable USB dock, this one is definitely worth considering. ... show more

  • SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/III Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station
Size: 2 BAY
SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/III Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station. I've purchased one years ago that is a dual docking station, and it still works great. So that's why I've decided to purchase this new one which is even better since you can copy HHD or 2.5 SSD with a push of a button. I use these to make backup to an external hard drive, so I can take them to another location for safe keeping and install another HHD for the next backup. Works flawless and makes your job easy so that you don't have to purchase expensive 2TB or 4TB external drives, and have to unplug etc. The HHD are in a cool plastic HHD case with dates on them. Would buy again and recommend this product for home or server uses. ... 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
