Love this dock!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this dock! It's super easy to swap 3.5" and 2.5" drives in and out of this. It's decent on the xfer speeds and so far has been very stable and reliable. If something ever happens to this one I would definitely purchase another one!

2tb max size for HDD

Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does just what it's made for. USB 3 file transfers are fast (USB 2 connection is obviously slower, but still works fine). Have not had any issues so far. Drives run cool in it. Drives do stay powered up and spinning all the time while unit is turned on. Overall great product.

No frills, works fine.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device does what it's supposed to. The housing is a little cheap compared to the old Thermaltake ones that Best Buy used to carry. Additionally, the price is a little high for what it is, but when you need one same-day, it's what was available.

Works well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did everything I needed it to do. No weird disconnections or anything while transferring. USB cable could have been a little longer but thats just my setup.

plug and play with usb3.0 speed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit worked much more reliably, easier than a slightly cheaper unit I had bought that was pretty much a bunch of cables that connected to each other and to a power supply. The only downside would be that it only handles sata drives, not older ide type drives.

Plup and play
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a stack of old drives and this allows hot swapping so now have back ups that are a bit more secure than a flash drive. Just plugged it in, added a drive and had complete access. Now have a use for the drives out of some dead lap tops too.

Great little tool
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very Convenient option to use with hard drives from old laptops and desktops. If you ever need a good way to re-use those or to save data from them, this is a great alternative.

Great dock for older driver as well as cloning!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Worked exactly as advertised

Great device for expanding your storage at home.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Does it’s job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solid and does exactly what it's supposed to.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

A great way to recover files that have been lost.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
