    I brought this to save the files off a laptop that was dying, I simply took the HD out the laptop , put it in the docking station, and dragged and dropped the files I choose to keep. Easy peasy ! Simple to set up and use

    Exactly as advertised. Suggestion: If your PC crashes and/or doesn't turn back on, consider getting this before stressing about whether or not the pros can recover your data. 2 slots to fit a combination of internal hard disk drives AND solid state drives. Just open up your non-working pc. Disconnect the storage drives. Pop them into this device. Connect the USB cable into a working pc. Plug in the power cable, turn it on, and viola! Access to your data. This is also suitable if you just want to add your internal HDD and SSD to a pc for extra storage

    Dock makes quick work of recovering old files

    Connected to my newer laptop easily. Having both drive sizes capable of being connected thru this dock was excellent. I pulled old documents, records, and other files from hard drives out of machines that could never boot up again. Recovering data was fairly quick, limited by the machine the dock is connecting with. High levels of encryption on old drives may present an issue accessing files. On my old computers, I didn’t use more than the encryption levels installed as part of the more protected operating systems. I accessed the old drives with little trouble. Not sure if it’s due to my newer machine having even higher level of encryption than the old machines?

    Excellent device. I needed to transfer files from old internal hard drives and didn't feel like installing them in a new machine to do so, this worked perfectly. It loads up each partition of the hard drive plugged in and shows them like a flash drive. The only issue I have with it is that when you plug in a drive, it doesn't feel like it makes a secure connection even though it does and there is some wiggling of the drive that makes it feel like you could easily damage the sata/power connection, this is the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

    Failed USB Disk Drive Data Recovered

    I used this device to recover my son's wedding pictures from a backup USB drive. He had lost the drive on his computer and went to use the backup USB and it did not work either. The USB drive was not recognized by his computer. I did some research and discovered the disk drive could be removed from the USB unit and hooked directly into a computer. The disk drive was still not recognized. I then found some Linux software, purchased this unit and was able to successfully recover about 60GB of data. It took over 2 weeks of runtime, but it was recovered. He and his wife are very happy with the results.

    My desktop crashed and I needed something where I can transfer data from my SATA hard drives to my laptop and backup external drive. Not only could I hook up one, but I can hook up two at the same time. Transferring 40gb of data in only an hour.

    I needed this to recover a drive from a computer that crashed. It came right up in Windows 10 with no problem and did the trick. Better, in my opinion, than the hard enclosures that require a screwdriver and separate cables. This just works!

    This little accessory saved quite a lot of money. My last computer fried but the hard drive was salvageable. Simply removed the hard drive from the dead computer, pushed it into the slot in the device, plugged the transfer cable into the new PC and plugged in the power. After a long time reading the old drive (1.5T) all the data was easily recognized without having to have a program to back up the data previously for transfer. This will not transfer any programs though only your data files in case anyone thinks or wants it to. Do not power off the device without closing all opened windows in the now externally used hard drive as it could cause corruption also be careful the drive can be removed while being it is being read. Make sure you place it in a steady location as the drive can wobble a little.

    If you have a few hard drives laying around, this thing comes in handy. You can also experiment with RAIDs or boot OS's externally. Ie. you use Rufus to install a live OS to a drive, tap your boot menu and select the exteral. USB3.1 gives you 450->500MB a second. I use it to prep my solid state drives. It works with Windows, Linux, and Mac. I got mine on sale but no I.T. professional should be without one. Also great if you just want to buy drives for backups. There are numerous things you can do with this.

    Over the years I have seen to acquire quite a few raw drives safe from old computers harvested from those desktop back up USB things. So being able to put two of those drives into this one unit connected USB three to my PC or my Mac allows me to move data. Also let me know what I’ve got in a hurry. Look at it directly and move it if I need to.
