OWC NWTU3S3HD 4 TB Voyager S3 Hard Drive Dock

I brought two cheaper Chinese made SATA/IDE kits to transfer files from an old hard drive to my new computer, they burnt out within seconds of switching them on, wires smokes and cables fused together. I then came across this baby. Well made, very easy to use. It cost the same as the two cheap useless ones I brought. Quality product, wish I'd seen this first. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. You'll need to buy a 8 shaped cable to connect for power, it doesn't come with one, quess that's because plugs are different the world over. Don't buy Chinese electrics, buy quality it's cheaper in the long run.

An easy to use plug and play item, saved a lot of time messing around with an open computer.

Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the tin. Plug and play, simple to connect, simple to use. I have been able to revive half a dozen redundant drives and put them to use again.My only criticism is the adaptor is non-UK and the transformer, despite being equipped with a figure 8 socket does not come with a power lead supplied. Delayed my project by 3 days until I could buy a figure 8 power lead. This is not rocket science guys, if you supply a product to the UK market, supply it with the appropriate UK accessories.

No sé cómo puede funcionar puesto que al recibirlo no traía conector para Europa. Siendo un producto vendido y gestionado por Amazon no han sabido darme respuesta a este problema. No sé si las demás personas tendrán el adaptador pero en mi caso no ha llegado.

Mi è arrivato puntuale sulla data prevista, purtroppo il cavo di alimentazione ha la spina di tipo anglosassone. Manca l'adattatore per Italia e non riesco ancora a utilizzarlo.

Product works as advertised, setup was fast and simple works great!

Great

Répond parfaitement aux attentes, sans surprise !

When the screen on my 17-inch MacBook Pro was damaged the replacement cost was too high, in my mind. I scrapped it, but salvaged its two hard drives, which went into a drawer to be forgotten. Then I saw this dock and realized I could use them for backup drives. The price was right, so I gave it a shot. I gave it 5 stars because it did everything I needed. Now I have two full-scale backups. And not long after an unknown file was corrupted that stopped me from sending and receiving email, among other things. i tried everything and was stymied. I used Mac’s Tim e Machine and, for the first time, attempted a full replacement using one of those drives. Voila. I was back in business after wasting many hours of fruitless troubleshooting. The dock was money WELL spent.

I've had a Voyager S# hub for close to 10 years, and purchased this same brand/model because it has always given me positive, excellent results. On this newer purchase the USB cable is kinda short, and the power adapter is too big, but all works well. I guess this review is more for the Mfg. company Newertech

I love this product. I had a logic board failure on my 2012 Macbook Pro, and had backed up almost everything, but there were a few key things that I was working on that I hadn't backed up that day. I ripped the hard drive out of my old Macbook Pro, ordered one of these puppies, and stuck it right in there. Now my old Macbook Pro hard drive works just like an external hard drive. One thing to note: with the 2012 version of the Macbook Pro hard drive, I had to remove a screw from the side of the hard drive in order for it to fit, but that's not really any problem, just something you might have to do.

This hard drive dock is one of the most useful and important tools I use in my workshop. It works well, and has never failed. I know own four of these, as they are ideal to use cheaper, large capacity bare drives for redundant storage than external drives with enclosures. With these docks, I can afford to make multiple copies for much less than conventional external drives would cost. Those drives are then packed away in static-free bags for archiving digital files. Also useful for accessing data on a drive that still works even though the computer has failed. Highly recommend.

Excellent product at excellent price and arrived in perfect working order. Only negative is the large wall-wart power supply connection, but it has possibility of attaching an extension cable so only one plug position can be occupied on your A/C power source. I have another from October 2015 that is still working, and will use this new one for convenient transfers to new SATA disks.

Very clean design, fast operation. One WARNING: The Amazon page describing it says it is for “hot-swapping” drives. That is absolutely false. The included documentation from NewerTech clearly states that the device must be powered down before removing the drive from the Voyager — which makes sense (you can damage it otherwise) — contrary to any definition of “hot-swapping” in the electronics industry.

I was happy with this dock, until I had needed to use an 8 TB drive. This dock couldn't read it, and I suspect it is GPT initialization. It takes forever to reformat a large drive so i wasn't going to try MBR. Luckily i had a cable matters dock (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0099TX7O4/) - it saved me. I was able to copy all my data off my NAS so i could rebuild the array.

I was replacing a computer with a dead logic board, so I wanted to find a way to pull the data off the drive before I recycled it. Both because I wanted the data, and I prefer to destroy old hard drives as opposed to recycling them and then spending sleepless nights freaking out about identity theft.This plus a toolkit was half the cost of taking it to someone for that service. Out of the box, it just works. Combine this with a small toolkit to disassemble your computer and you are all set.

WOW, how did I not know and/or use one of these docking stations earlier?!?!?! They are amazing. Similar to an enclosure but even more useful if you have multiple external HDs. I actually got this b/c my desktop died when I tried adding a new 3TB hd, so I wanted something to at least check the HD for issues. This let me connect the new 3TB to my laptop via USB 2.0 so I could partition, format, and start using the new hard drive right away. The fact that it's backwards compatible w/ USB 2.0 and can use 2.5" and 3.5" drives up to 4TB is very useful too. Likely going to buy a few more as gifts for my tech friends and family.

1, Reason why I chose :Since my old Voyager from years ago didn't support 4TB drive, I needed the dock which supports larger drive. I contact OWC support and made sure this dock supported for large capacity drive.2, like & dislike :It works just fine as it should be.3, Recommend this product to :If you're looking for a quality, and durability, this could be the one.4, Price :Compare to other alternatives, and it's a simple USB connector model, price of this dock could be cheaper than it is. I would say around $25 is fair.
