    Simple yet elegant device. Reads with both drives at advertised speeds. Great for cloning one drive to another with little roll-off on the I/Os. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I needed to backup my home security camera drive so I could install a larger drive and this worked great. I also have access to drives I kept from old laptops and PC towers. I has it's own power supply and holds drives securely.

    Had a laptop die on me and a Geek Squad member recommended using this to retrieve my information off of the hard drive. Worked exactly as described and was earlier then expected.

    I have several hard drives and they were going to waste. An Insignia docking station gives me the opportunity to make use of them. The USB 3.0 pass through port on the back allows you to daisy chain these and other external drives for even more storage.

    I had a computer that would not start into windows and the diagnosis was indicating a problem with the hard drive. I was able to use this to extract data from the hard drive and save it to another machine. Data transfer was at a decent speed and had no issues.

    Don't know if it is my computer or the docking station but I have a hard time making the drives show up on my computer. When it connects it works great. Still a work in progress

    Bought a different version years back, it never did do as promised, .....so I bought this one and couldn't be happier. Only drawbacks is that it doesn't support IDE.

    Purchased this to try to recover data from hard drives in a computer which crashed. This powered up the drives allowing me to recover data using data recovery software.

    Over the years I have experienced losing files on three external hard drives that failed. For a long times I struggled to find a way to recover the lost files. This docking station is a great way to recover files that have been otherwise lost.

    Worked great getting data from an old computer where the mother board went out. Cheaper than paying someone to do it for me. The setup was very simple. The only downside was the latency accessing the drive. Unfortunately it will not work on a couple of old PATA hard drives I have.

    Works perfectly if you need it for a SATA HDDs, but does not work with IDE HDDs. There is no image online showing the back of the box, but on the item I received it plainly states on the box that it does not read IDE. Nothing in the description mentions that either. Would not have purchased this item if that information had been available. I needed it to read an old IDE drive.
