Dual Bay USB 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Station with Offline Clone Function for 2.5 Inch & 3.5 Inch HDD SSD SATA (2 x 8TB Support）

Absolutely delighted with this device. The features are brilliant. I have no idea why other docking stations don't have a built-in hub, but they should! Including a charging port is a strike of genius! AND it's still usable as a data port! Obviously, I'm very happy with this thing. :DI'm using this docking station with a laptop that only has a single USB 3 port. I was going to buy a USB 3 hub 'and' a HDD dock, but then I found this device. It was 'everything' I wanted in a single device and it's very compact.This device is of plastic construction and has a decent build quality. It won't blow you away but it feels robust enough to survive normal usage. If you have 2 or more hard drives attached (if you connect more via the hub), it appears as individual drives on the computer. This is extremely useful for file transfers and backups.There's 2 features that is missing, UASP, which can provide "up to" 70% faster HDD performance over USB 3, and Sata 3 (6gbps). Both missing features would significantly impact performance if you intend to use SSDs regularly with this docking station. However, other products that have these, lack the hub feature.For me the hub and charging feature outweighed the bump in performance as I'm just using average hard drives. For less than £10 you can buy a USB 3 to Sata 3 adapter with UASP and you could attach it to the hub of this device to use. So, it's really not a big issue.Overall, I think this is a fantastic device with really useful features. I would thoroughly recommend this to others.I hope you found this review useful.

I have used my unit for a few months and have no complaints at all. Even at this slightly higher price for this differently branded version this is a great dock. It is fast (USB3.0 consistently transfers files at over 100mB a second). The 3x USB3.0 port hub with 1x fast charging port are genuinely useful desk level accessory ports. The build quality is pretty good & the footprint is small. The clone function works brilliantly for archiving - but hasn`t been 100% reliable for me when cloning boot drives to new high capacity replacements. Recommended

good item works well but wrong USB3 lead sent with item ,Amerzon quickly replaced USB lead and all now works well .

The unit was functional for 15 minutes before the power supply failed.

For the first 18 months, this worked fine and was very useful for connecting bare drives. But then the power unit failed.I bought a replacement power unit, and it worked again for a few months, but now it only works with USB2 ports on my computer, not USB3.

Good but when having 2 drives and you take one out it resets

I bought this to replace a similar docking station which only had room for one hard drive and was limited to 3Tb discs (or maybe I misunderstood the comments on that docking station as 3Tb were as far as affordable technology went at the time). With 4Tb inside my machine and 2.25Tb hanging off the machine from the rear USB ports, I still don't have enough space to back up everything. What doesn't get backed up by Windows back gets backed up manually onto hard drives ripped from the guts of machines past their sell-by dates, as well as a couple of bare hard drives bought instead of expensively packaged external hard drives.I've not tried the off-line clone function, simply because it's something I don't see myself needing. Writing to two drives at once produced a respectable 35 to 40 Mb/s transfer per drive, with about 70 to 80Mb/s when writing to just one drive. A charging only USB port on the front is handy, freeing up a USB port that otherwise would be dumbly charging an mp3 player of a phone, and as a bonus there are two USB3 ports - an advantage when many cheaper PCs only have one USB3 port.The power supply is in a separate box that the power lead plugs into, presumably so that only the power lead needs to be changed for different markets. At first I cursed the thing for having an unusually shaped "in" micro-USB port on the rear, especially when USB devices are uniform enough to make a USB charger with a number of outlets a viable option, but then it occurred to me that although the port is non-standard, a large part of it consists of empty space, thus a greater surface area for both plug and socket which will help hold the connecting lead in place.A worthwhile, reasonably future-proof solution to back-up and storage...

I looked at this product for two reasons, firstly I wanted to setup a low-cost large-volume raid 1 storage and, secondly, to attache a number of usb 3 disks that I had acquired over recent years.This fitted the bill perfectly, dropped in a couple of 4tb 3.5 inch drives and used Mac OSX to create the software Raid 1 - works flawlessly. The three USB ports now have a further 5tb hanging off them (2 * 2tb and 1 * 1tb) giving total storage of 9tb.Delivery was prompt and well-packaged. Operation was intuitive and straightforward. Cloning works as expected. Just need to buy another couple to tidy up my disk collection.

Acheté pour remplacé mon dock simple disque, il est très facile à utiliser et les ports usb 3.0 en facade sont très utiles. J'ai pu dégager le hub usb que je gardais sur mon bureau et libérer 1 port sur le pc.La qualité est bonne.

Auto backup y o copia de hdds. Excelente y rápido en el proceso y sin fallos, también accedible desde el pc. La verdad es que yo lo he usado bajo Windows 10 y ha funcionado correctamente y sin fallos. Bueno, bonito y barato. Va perfecto. Compra 100% Recomendada.

The cloning device works great, is an excelent product.I have cloned a 320GB laptop disk in a 1TB SSD diskin less than 35 minutes,The cloning device works great, is an excelente product. I have cloned a 320GB laptop disk in a 1TB SSD disk in less than 35 minutes,a) Place the disks in the right order,::1:: is where is placed the original ,::2:: is where is placed the target disk;b) Turn on the device, press the clone button and wait until the light stop blinking.I followed exactly the instructions as they're detailed. Once I replaced the disk in the laptop, everything works perfectly.I extremely recommend this product and his seller :)

Nota bene: recently had my first "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notice in OS X from the drives in the replacement drive dock sent me. And it's repeating. Seller states his tech people are working on the issue. It is not happening as often with the replacement drive dock, which I suspect points to modification of the software controlling drive sleep embedded in the second dock. But the issue persists, so I am riding a star-rating rollercoaster, reducing it to two. My most previous version of review, a five-star one when things were working better, follows:Best customer service I've ever received. When I had problems with a first unit, the seller read my review, contacted me and asked me to provide more technical information about the issue. Result of our email exchanges: I had a bad unit. Seller sent a new one, which works perfectly. Drives mount, sleep, wake without issue. USB 3.0 hub, charging port, and the ability to mount two SATA disks at once makes this a best buy on Amazon with unmatched price and features. Their reaching out to a customer to resolve an issue places them head and shoulders beyond any other seller I've experienced on Amazon. I highly recommend both this drive dock and seller.

Ce n'est pas mon premier Dock. Celui-ci est très abouti.=> Les plus :- Expédition depuis la Chine et reçu en 48 heures avec Prime.- Le packaging est complet et sérieux (bien protégé)- Prend tous les disques jusqu'à 8 TB (restriction du firmware)- Un HUB USB 3.0 de trois prises, dont la troisième avec une fonction copie rapide en une touche du contenu de ce que vous connecté sur ce port vers un des supports présents dans les slots 3.5 ou 2.5. Très pratique, tout passe sur ce HUB (J'ai essayé : Clé USB 3.0, un autre dock (le même j'en ai acheté 02) 02 disques, recharge téléphone Samung, tablette Samsung.)=> Les moins :- Le câble USB 3.0 livré n'est pas long (50 cm)- Un seul interrupteur pour les 02 slots, donc si vous souhaitez ajouter ou enlever un disque, cela coupera les deux.- Éventuellement ventiler les disques comme je l'avais sur un autre dock pour 04 disques. (Sharkoon).- Pas de facture envoyé automatiquement de la part du revendeur (tiers).
