Did not work
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I may have just got a bad one but it would not connect to my computer. It kept losing connection and would not stay connected for very long. The drives fit very loosely in the socket which may be part of the connection problem.

Not impressed
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was much more complicated to use than I was led to believe. I would not have purchased it if I knew what it was really going to be like. You win some, and others you just don't repeat.

Broke My Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get this. I inserted the hard drive in the docking station. When I hooked it up to my computer, my computer would not recognize this. I read the instructions over and over again but could not get this to work. When I ejected the hard drive, I noticed this docking station broke off a piece of my hard drive and now Im unable to use it. Im beyond upset and will NEVER buy this product again. This is the second time I had an issue with this brand. I dont recommend anyone buy this brand

Died after two months.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device worked fine when it worked. But after two months it began doing odd things. Drives would disappear at random. Finally they disappeared for good. All the lights are on but the drives disappear after a minute or two of connection. My old single bay dock still works great connected to the same usb port.

Unnecessary recommendation from GeekSquad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My external hard drive data cable plug broke. Geek Squad told me this $50 item was required to get to my data (or I could pay them more money to transfer it for me). Learned from 2 others who work in IT that all that was needed was a simple cable that cost a few dollars. This has happened before at Best Buy. My new TV does not take RCA jacks. Best Buy Geek Squad does not carry nor recommend the inexpensive cord adapter to deal with it. . They only carry the $50 solution and do not mention that you could purchase something for a fraction of the cost elsewhere that works.

Make sure the disk you want to copy fits

I know the feeling of not being able to get something to work easy and seamlessly. This device is for 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch SATA discs. Currently we do not have an IDE Hard Drives reader. We are always here to help you and thanks for your comments and feedback.

10 time use only*
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Partially worked for 2 months. Could only use one slot at a time and could only read the laptop drives. The power regulator blew in the station unit thus killing the device. There was not extended warranty available at purchase.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is theoretically a USB 3.0 device, but when direct-connected (not via a hub) it connects at only USB 2.0 speed (480 Mb/s). I've been copying data to it for 15 hours and it's only copied ~2.5TB.
