    Overall excellent docking station. Good quality, eject buttons were a little difficult to depress and they did not like coming out of the docking station easily.

    Works great as a backup solution when I can swap out disks to keep multiple backup copies. I occasionally swap the disks and leave one at my office in case of a total loss such as a theft or god forbid a fire. SSD performance is great.

    This product worked well. It was a bit confusing for me because the USB said in and it worked as an out.

    Slow but Sure?

    Bought this as a replacement for a different dual dock that trashed two hard drives. Feels like a solid well built unit. Data transfers with this unit work, albeit very SLOW! I transfer large system image files up to 400GB in size. My previous docking station would transfer at speeds around 200-220 MBs/Sec. I was disappointed to find this unit transfers those same files at 40 - 50 MBs/Sec; using exact same ports & cables. I'm hoping the reduced speed will provide better reliability... Eject buttons require lots of force; much easier to just grab the drive & pull. Win 10; i5-3570k; 16G

    I’ve built many home computers over the years and amassed a large number of drives when the programs grew in size and I needed more space. This helped me to ease have access to these old drives.

    It works and does what it needs to. I did find that copying files from drive to drive was slower than transferring it to my computer first then to the drive. Overall best budget dock.

    After going through all of the hard drives that I've gone through lately this little tool came in quite handy. I used it on several bricked hard drives to retrieve the data off of them and it worked rather well. And it was well worth the money.

    Had a hard drive enclosure fail. Used a different docking station and my computer found the drive unreadable. Purchased this one and the computer recognized it right away! Backed up everything on a new drive and we’re Good to go!

    Works as intended very well. The issue that I have with it that dropped this rating a star is the absurd amount of single-use plastics in the packaging.

    It appears that this docking station requires a 3.0 USB port to connect to for it to work. Fortunately, we just bought a new computer for my wife so she should be able to use it.
