With how many times i have to pop a drive in and out, this makes my work so much easier

I had a couple of old hard drives taken out of a desktop and a laptop (both of which had failed for reasons other than hard drive crashes) that had programs and data that I didn't want to lose. For some reason the external hard drives I'd bought for "insurance" to back up my data didn't work. Ran across this on the Best Buy website and ordered it online, picking it up at my local store. I plugged it into the USB-C slot on my new desktop and put the laptop drive. There's no software necessary to install and my desktop system recognized it fairly quickly and I was able to access my old programs and data without a problem. My old desktop hard drive was plugged into the larger slot but so far hasn't worked for me. Luckily I have another docking station that worked with it. Fortunately, the price on this unit is cheap enough that I'm fine with being able to access just my laptop drive.

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!

I had a NAS go down and this was a life saver. It’s stocked locally. I was able to yank the 3.5 SATA drives and access my data.

Works as advertised at max speed for a data drive. Easy to be eject drives as if they were portables. Il using this to repurpose some old drives for backups

Works very well, two old drives can be plugged in and you can choose which one you need to use.

Works great ! Saved me a $400.00 charge for extracting data from an external failed drive that I had a ton of Cad files saved on. The drive itself was good, the control board was bad. I removed the bad board & dropped in the non-working drive into the docking station and saved all the lost data. Plus I extracted old files from several other drives out of older computers I had. Well worth the price!!

Had to go through so many drives. This was a lifesaver!!!

This docking station was pretty great. I used it only once to transfer files off a corrupted hard drive to my SSD on my computer. This definitely saved my life there. The only thing I didn’t like was when inserting the hard drive, I couldn’t really see if it was lined up and it felt like I was going to break something.

I've had this for for 1.5 years and it works as good as the day I got it. Everyone needs to attach a laptop or desktop hard drive via USB every now and then, and for a lower price than many others, this does it easily.

Excellent device. I needed to transfer files from old internal hard drives and didn't feel like installing them in a new machine to do so, this worked perfectly. It loads up each partition of the hard drive plugged in and shows them like a flash drive. The only issue I have with it is that when you plug in a drive, it doesn't feel like it makes a secure connection even though it does and there is some wiggling of the drive that makes it feel like you could easily damage the sata/power connection, this is the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

I needed something to put all my data together from older hard drives. This is plug and play, fairly quick and just works.

This docking station has saved me many hours of not having to open cases and swap drives. It is quick and effective. Also has a USB slot on the side. Connects 3 items at once. Awesomely fast.

I brought this to save the files off a laptop that was dying, I simply took the HD out the laptop , put it in the docking station, and dragged and dropped the files I choose to keep. Easy peasy ! Simple to set up and use

My desktop crashed and I needed something where I can transfer data from my SATA hard drives to my laptop and backup external drive. Not only could I hook up one, but I can hook up two at the same time. Transferring 40gb of data in only an hour.

Used for a client needing a quick external setup on IMac. Works flawlessly

I needed this to recover a drive from a computer that crashed. It came right up in Windows 10 with no problem and did the trick. Better, in my opinion, than the hard enclosures that require a screwdriver and separate cables. This just works!

I had hard drives pulled from 2 different laptops that were no longer functional. This was a super easy way to pull all the files from those hard drives without having to worry about getting the old laptops running again.

Connected to my newer laptop easily. Having both drive sizes capable of being connected thru this dock was excellent. I pulled old documents, records, and other files from hard drives out of machines that could never boot up again. Recovering data was fairly quick, limited by the machine the dock is connecting with. High levels of encryption on old drives may present an issue accessing files. On my old computers, I didn’t use more than the encryption levels installed as part of the more protected operating systems. I accessed the old drives with little trouble. Not sure if it’s due to my newer machine having even higher level of encryption than the old machines?

These drives do work pretty well as long as you have them plugged into a USB 3 port. The speed is around what you would expect transferring data from one disc inside of this device to another disk inside of the device. Little over 200 Mbps. Transferring data from this device to the hard drive on your computer was slower for me. Max of 100 Mbps but on average 75. My problem with this device is it does nothing for cooling. So my drives can get too warm. That's okay if you're not using this for long-term use.
