StarTech.com SATA Festplatten Dockingstation für 2x 2,5/3,5" SATA SSDs/HDDs - USB 3.0 - HDD Docking Station

The docking station is great! Build quality is solid and provided cables are good.The docks chipset allows full ATA command pass through and I was able to do everything I can with E-SATA connection.

Ik kan zowel de 2.5 als 3.5 inch sata simultaan gebruike via windows OS.

First of all the dock feels well built and quality, i was expecting it to be plastic but it is made from metal / aluminium. However that was the only area that was impressive, the dock didn't seem to function properly at all. First of all it kept assigning my drives to offline so i had to keep reinitialising them / putting them back to online in windows disk manager, i don't know if the one i received was faulty or because i was using 2x 18tb drives but either way it was not functional enough behaving in this way.Another problem i faced was that if the power to the mains was turned off or the power switch turned off on the dock, when it was turned back on i would need to remove the drives then reinsert them before the dock would start to read them which again made it not functional as simply turning the dock on should be all it needs to start the drives, removing them and reinserting them just takes time and wear / tear to the drives and dock. This could be because i was using 2x 18tb drives but Startech themselves say this dock can be used with any size drive ("Supports 2.5/3.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs of any capacity") which leads me to believe it was just a faulty one. The box these dock come in aren't great and doesn't feel secure enough mine was rattling around inside the box before i even opened it with no foam or anything in the box to secure it properly...I have bought many startech devices in the past and they are usually good quality which is why i bought this expensive one over the cheaper hard drive docks as i know them to be a good quality company (hence the only reason i still gave this 3 stars) but unfortunately i had to return this dock as it just made what should have been a a simple process, into an annoying nightmare.

Works perfectly just wish you could copy it with out having to connect to the computer

I am happy. On all the time and connected to my mac. Works great.
