    Purchased and picked up curbside. It replaced an older IDE SATA to USB adapter that couldn't read the partitions on a newer hard drive. Plugged the drive into this docking station and was able to see all partitions and recover all the data we thought we'd lost. What a relief! And the price was just right.

    This pr;duct does exactly what it was designed to do, I used it to save 2 hard drives that had stopped working and didn’t show up on my computer. I can now use them in this dock to save games and files and I also put one I had fixed in a computer and it is working fine

    Its a powered usb3 external sata3 hdd docking station with an extra usb3 port on the side. I've only used it with a single 2.5" drive so far but I have many more 3.5" size drives up to 6TB each to test with. Speeds are reliable, I've cloned my internal ssd to hdd at maximum hdd speed without issues. I can see this being used easily for external drives with various content, usb3 interface is not posing any bottlenecks for hdds but it may slow down SSDs in this use case. I don't have time to test ssd to ssd transfer so I don't know maximum speed for that one, it will max my normal slower hdd without problems however.

    I was told I could use this to get all the stuff off of my old hard drive that I tore out of my old tower and then I could bring it right back. After taking off the necessary data, I used it to format the drive and use that drive as backflow/storage for my videos. No way am I parting with this thing! In fact, Might just order another drive and run them both with different stuff.

    I bought this when my computer died. The hard drive was still working so I took it out of the tower and popped it in here. I plugged the dock into a laptop and within a minute I had access to all my files. It showed up in my file explorer like any other drive. It was very easy to transfer my files to my new computer. Here's a hint if you've never used one of these. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I needed to remove a small screw on either side of my hard drive to get it to fit into the dock. The drive should sit firmly in the dock. If it's wobbly, you haven't seated it properly.

    I've used this drive with both 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs, as well as 2.5" SSDs. Never experienced any issues with the drive. Power light on the front of the unit is helpful to remind you not to forget the power switch hidden on the back. ***STANDARD DISCLAIMER*** Be sure to ensure you have properly ejected your drive from your computer prior to disconnecting the dock's USB connector. The eject buttons on the dock are for physically ejecting the drive, not unmounting it! Failure to eject/unmount via the computer will result in data loss. TLDR: Works well and as advertised. 2 drive capacity is a benefit over other products if you're copying from one device to another.
