Customer Ratings & Reviews

In the past, we did not know what to do when one of our computers went bad; we took for granted that all the information we had stored in the hard drive was lost or very difficult to retrieve (we are not too savvy with computers). We would normally copy the files into a USB and transfer the files that way. That was very tedious until we came across this handy 2-Bay HDD docking station. All we did was, we took the hard drive out of the old computer and placed it on this docking station, and we were able to retrieve all our stored information in a matter of minutes. Works great. Our old computer was damaged by a lightning strike. We lost the computer but, were able to save all of our information.

I moonlight as a computer helper and I have found that these are one of my go-to tools. I don’t do much hardware stuff, but I do setup a lot of new computers. This tools is the most efficient way to transfer data from the previous computer. I pull out the hard drive, plug it into the adapter and it’s ready to go. It’s also a good tool for converting cheap internal drives into cheap external PnP drives. I keep one at home on my bench and one in my car for computer guy house calls.

My Mac Pro system hard drive crashed and I needed to try to recover the data from the drive, which wouldn't mount. I removed the bad drive from the Mac Pro, purchased the Insignia docking station, docked the bad drive in it and plugged it into my MacBookPro to run data recovery software. I was able to recover my files from the drive, then ran backups of everything by plugging various drives into the docking station. The Insignia worked flawlessly and saved me a ton of time. I highly recommend it.

If you're looking at a single bay model, get this two-bay instead. Using free cloning software available online, this allowed me to duplicate my failing hard drive onto a new hard drive and keep my laptop going. It also allowed me to retrieve device drivers from one hard drive to another which fixed issues with my desktop computer. It will come in handy when I clone all my hard drives in case of hard drive failures.

My Business laptop died and I was able to get into the drive and salvage some extremely important files with this device. I believe I will be able to fix the boot files on the drive to actually fix the laptop. At least I'm hoping!

Does everything I need it to do, for SATA drives. Convenient power switch, though I wish there were two.

Works great. I used it to access Hard Drives that i wanted to recycle.

It is great to be able to take out the hard drive and have it available if the system goes down. Wonderful Device.

As with other products, I can't vouch for how well this works on Windows or OSX, but Linux works great with this docking station. I have been using it regularly since I purchased it to do image copies and backups of laptop and desktop drives before their systems are send off to surplus and never hit a glitch. It also works great for troubleshooting troublesome drives and getting data off before they fail.

Working great. Set up software raid on my raspberry pi. Linux box ! Highly recommend for all platforms

Works great, have 2 3.5 hard drives, both snapped right in and are easily accessible.

This 2-Bay docking station by Isignia is a great way to put into use older drives that you might have laying around. It's also perfect for upgrading computers when moving files off your old PC to a new one. It works with standard drives and laptop drives. It has a power switch so you can leave it connected to your PC and flip on/off as you need it. I've had no issues with plug-and-play simplicity. I bought it open-box but it's pretty inexpsensive no matter what. Great purchase!

This is a good USB3 to SATA 2 drive bay. Works great. Good speeds with SSD Sata drives. Works with 2.5 or 3.5in drives. Drives unmount smoothly with W10.

Wow this insignia docker is cool. I had about 10 Sata old hard drives lying around. I reformatted them all checked for errors now I have extra hard drives to use. When your hard drive in your computer goes bad you can always take it out and put it in this dock and get back all your files. Nice product and its easy to use. You can use this to tranfer data from diiffrent devices. This is always good to have.

A nice product to offer, but I'm not an expert so it turned out to be something I couldn't use. Therefore I had to return, but that was due to my lack of expertise NOT because anything was wrong with product!! Unfortunately this product nor the Geek Squad's 3-day estimate of time to resolve my issue worked well for me.

Used this to transfer data from my old laptop hard drive to my new SSD hard drive and this made it so easy to accomplish that transfer. I was so pleased with it that I bought a 2nd SSD and also upgraded my wifes laptop.

Easy to use, helped me retrieve old files from a computer I had years ago. Now gives some extra storage to free up space on the main drive

Working great so far. Plug and play, just make sure you push disk in all the way and use normal protocols for attaching/detaching new drives. Read intructions.

This docking station was extremely easy to plug into the USB port, and then hot-swap any 2 drives (SSD or HDD). They show up immediately in Explorer and are accessible as if they had been installed inside your computer itself. It's great for file transfer from old systems or drives. Highly recommended.

It worked, old HD transferred to new computer. Low price.
