    First used it to fix an SSD that was affected by an xbox update. After I was finished I put an additional SSD in and connected it to the Xbox for 1.5 TB of fast storage.

    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.

    Excellent product. I used this product during the time I needed to swap out my regular hard drive for a solid state hard drive. This product was used in the cloning of my new hard drive.

    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.

    I had bought another one of these in the past because it worked so well. Unfortunately this was also bought due to the other one failing right after the warranty ran out.

    Issues copying between drives

    This device reads and writes my 10TB WD drives without issue. However, copying large amounts of data BETWEEN the two drives in the dock doesn't work properly. The transfer runs extremely slow until it just becomes frozen. Same issue when connecting a USB-SATA cable from the dock's passthru USB port to one drive while leaving the other drive in the dock. But the transfer works perfectly when plugging the same USB-SATA cable to a different USB port not on the dock, so it's definitely an issue with the dock itself.

    Bought it to transfer my documents from my hard drive to SSD, however I ended up returning it without using, because I was able to retrieve all of my documents without it. I bought it because of great reviews on BB.

    With a new hard drive in the docking station it would not show up on available drives to format on my computer. Turned out to be preformatted in a form that could not be used. After getting it reformatted at Geek Squad it worked well.

    The dock is ok, but pretty hard to tell if my disk is plugged in properly until I connect it to a PC. Also, the USB in/out labels are pretty confusing by themselves, had to read the manual.

    No issue with product. Good, reliable brand for this product, but would purchase from another retailer as this one lacks the ability to provide a modicum of decent customer service.

    Overall this product is good because I have and old desktop that has a HDD inside it. The computer was not working so, I was able to backup my files from the HDD to a easy storage space device.
