I'm using this for external eSata backup drives. It was very easy to set up and use. Construction is solid and the performance is great. I love that it actually came with an eSata cable.

Easy to setup. It can do both sizes of sata drives. Hot swap doesn’t work as I expected. You must safely eject the drive then turn the device on and off for the new drive to be recognized. Overall, it works well.

I ordered this from Best Buy the day my desktop PC died (I think it was the severe thunderstorm the night before did it in).
all I had to do was connect the USB cable, plug in the power, and insert the hard drive. I was able to get all the data I needed from the hard drive onto my new notebook PC. I don't know what I would have done without it. this docking station also fits solid state hard drives, so, if my notebook dies, i'll be able to recover the data.

Excellent product. I needed the eSATA connection to use as a DVR extender. It worked like a champ. It lights up pink/blue while recording. It was very easy to setup.

Data transfers are fast with the USB 3.0 port. The eSATA port has not been recognized on the multiple computers I've connected with.

My desktop PC died, and my backup was more than a month old (my bad).
This hard drive docking station allowed me to transfer all my latest data to my notebook PC. It was so easy to use.........straight out of the box.......just plug in, connect to PC and turn it on!

I have tons of photos for my business on old hard drives that I really didn't want to spend the time "transferring" to flash drives. This works perfect to access files.

Disappointed by eSATA failure

I only purchased this to connect a drive via eSATA on an older laptop. However, the eSATA connection does not work. At this point, I don't have any way to verify if it is an eSATA failure on the dock, the computer, or the drive. If I determine it is not an issue with the dock, I will update my rating accordingly.

A service rep and an online help person told me that this would work with my TIVO. It was incompatible.
