Need to clone SATA HDDs/SDDs? Want to USB-dock & use external HDD/SDD storage to an existing computer for short/long-term, but maintain remove-ability? This unit performs 100 according to its specs. I have cloned & external tethered SATA HDDs & SDDs without fail or complications. I have used this dock to recover data from failing drives, where I had no choice but to physically cool down the failing drive during data recovery. It's a very welcomed addition to my literal bag of HDD/SDD tricks.

Nice unit but the speeds are less than I expected. My old unit's write speed was approx. 140 MP/S and with this unit, my write speed is 40 MP/S. I plugged the USB 3.0 cable into my motherboard and tried it in an extension as well - same results. The speed issue is not a deal breaker. While there are hinged covers, a dust cover would be nice. Controls are clearly labeled and well placed.

I have two of these and they both work great! They work with regular hard drives, laptop hard drives and even SSD's. USB 3.0 makes it very fast.

Works as advertised. Was easy to set up and connect to my Laptop and PC. I really used it quite a bit and to date no issues

If you are looking for a way to continue using that Hard Drive from your old Desktop, this is the way to go.
