## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... BlacX HDD Docking Station ( ST0005U-D ) works just fine. Five stars
*by W***Y on June 14, 2017*

First and foremost this device ( Thermaltake BlacX HDD Docking Station ( ST0005U-D ) works just fine. Five stars. I had previously purchased a Thermaltake Docking Station ( ST0019U ) and that was already installed here and worked just fine on all drives, including 2.1TB+. There's a technical wrinkle here that I ran into. And it's not well defined on Amazon or the Thermaltake site. That is will the Docking Station work with an Drive that exceeds 2.1TB in size. My first purchase, the ST0019U, was just fine. I then followed that up with another purchase of a ST0019U from Amazon and it did not support a 2.1TB drive or larger. Amazon, free of charge, refunded my money on that one. I believe the ST0019U is now obsolete. I then purchased this Docking Station ( ST005U-D ) and waited, crossing fingers, that it would support 2.1TB+ drives. And it did. So make sure you purchase this device from Amazon only so that if the firmware in the device does not support the larger drives you'll be able to return and replace it. I suggest that all the ST0005U-D devices support 2.1TB+ drives. Note: I am using these devices on a Linux OS. And the drives being plugged into it use the EXT4 file system. And that works just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used to wipe a bunch of SSDs from Linux
*by H***R on October 17, 2018*

After reading up on doing ATA secure erase on SATA drives and seeing a bunch of warnings about using USB enclosures/docking stations to do it (resulting in tombstoning your drives), I found an article listing the USB 2.0 version of this docking station as one that has a controller that can handle the task. I figured what the heck, and rolled the dice on ordering the USB 3.0 dual bay version (actually, 2 of them).~250+ drives later, I have to say that they did the trick, both with SSDs and spinning rust, and I never had any problems issuing the ATA secure erase commands or simply using the docking station to read data from both 2.5" and 3.5" drives. The quality seems high, linux (CentOS 7.x, specifically) had no issues, and my Windows 10 laptop seemed to be happy using it as well. For the record, the linux boxes were using if through USB 2.0 ports and the Windows 10 laptop through USB 3.0.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No power out of the box
*by A***. on January 2, 2025*

But i bought one elsewhere and it works perectly as if the two drives were USB's, the drives can be hot swapped and/or used as an external or backup drive all from Windows File Explorer.
