“Will this work with barracuda drives from a desktop? They are bigger than the laptop drives.”

The docking station will support 2.5 inch laptop drives or 3.5 inch desktop drives as long as they have the SATA connections on them. The photo for the product does not show that the docking station slot covers will push aside when a 3.5 inch drive is inserted. Looking at your included photo, those appear to be 66 pin IDE drives and not SATA connections. There are USB to SATA converters available. The Seagate Barracuda drives may require a higher wattage power supply than normal if they are the high performance 10,000 RPM drives. Hope this helps.
