SATA to USB 3.0 Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock for 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD SSD with Micro SD Card Reader 2 USB 3.0 Port, Offline Clone Function External Hard Drive Docking Station, 2X20TB and UASP Support

I'm NOT getting paid for this review and am referring to the model UASP DS02 Sata 3, 16TB HD support with TF/SD slots, 2x USB 3 slots and 2x 2.5inch/3.5 inch slots. Ordered on 10/2020. DO NOT BUY refurbished or used older models. Get the latest new version to BE on the SAFE side! I have several older clone/sata external drive enclosures that have served me well for years. I needed something to do more, be muich faster and after thorough research, I took a chance on this one. NO REGRETS!!! This unit does everything I need to do. YES - You can use two hard drives at the same time and they will each have their own drive assigned letter. You can transfer ANY files from the computer to any of the two drives with ease. The 2.5 inch drive slips right into the slot easily and it has a spring loaded cover for the larger 3.5 inch drives. It makes the unit look really nice and helps keep the dust out. The POWER supply is 3 Amps and I'm using it to handle 1 USB 3 memory stick with 2 Sata 3.5 inch drives and a TF card at the same time!!! You can also easily transfer ANY files from the two hard drives to the USB stick and vice versa with one click. However, YOU CAN'T transfer a file to the TF\SD card unless you take out the USB stick. Once the USB stick is removed, you then have full access to the TF\SD card. This puppy is very fast, however, a few times a file seems to transfer slow. Hard drive to hard drive all files are super fast, but on very few rare occasions a hard drive to USB 3 transfer seems to slow down. I copy most movies which are 2 GB a piece and its super fast, just know that making multiple copies onto ANY USB drive will be severely slow down big time due to its design. Any multiple copies on a USB stick whatever the version will all come to a crawl. If you simply copy one file at a time, it will be like warp speed. I am using this to backup my movies and games onto a 4TB 3.5 inch drive and to USB 3 memory stick and again, its lightning fast. The TF/SD card slots are just a bonus and like icing on the cake makes this an ultimate unit. The power supply has 3 amps and more than enough juice to run everything. I have not tested "OLDER" drives that may require more power but in that case, use a heavier amperage power supply. It also comes with a beefy thick USB 3.0 cord that seems to be 3 foot long that attaches to your computer. It comes with a nice manual, small footprint but still readable and very informative with colored diagrams and troubleshooting. 1 Year warranty. I had two 4TB hard drives and a USB stick powered up for many hours and the hard drives are lightly warm. They never get hot and this unit has enough clearance to keep those drives cool. It says that everything is "HOT SWAPPABLE." Thats true and it is but honestly that is a FOOLS way of working with this. BE SMART - DO IT RIGHT - ALWAYS use the dismount the drives FIRST, then shut the unit off with the easy click on/off button on the back TO SAVE PROPERLY and not have ANY chances of corrupting your files or DAMAGINGING

I needed a docking station to utilize my spare hard drives and came across this device. I tested to see if I could edit 4k footage, and to my surprise, I could without lag! I installed games on the docked drives and could play them without issue. I had to repair a drive as well and could without needing to install the drive directly into my main system (used laptop). The device made repairing computers with my laptop a breeze! Since I also create content, it has improved my workflow significantly, recovering footage from SD Cards quickly and transferring them to my bulk storage drives to edit off. Pros: - Dock standard desktop 2.5”/3.5” drives - Can clone drives with a push of a button. No computer is required! - File transfer up to 6 GBs - Support for up to 20TB drives - Sleep Feature to reduce drive wear & save power! Cons: - Requires external power - Can’t use USB ports and SD Card/TF Card simultaneously - LED Indicator is a little dim Overall, the device is worth the price and is very versatile! It saves me time & effort, making repair jobs & video editing a much more enjoyable experience!

Had this for a while now and tested it with a lot of different drives. I was able to rescue a bunch of old photos from old drives from computers past that I figured we lost. Plugged it into my desktop and it acts like an external drive. Easy to see what's on them. Great product for a great price.

The bad: The SD port does not work. I took the unit apart and determined that the plastic shroud that guides the SD card had broken off. I used epoxy to put it back but the port isn't working correctly. It will show a drive, but no contents. Strange. The not so bad but you need to be aware: Given that this unit is primary used to copy one drive to another... if you later wish to use the docking station to access two different drives, you can only do so if they are the same drive size. Actually I'm not even sure if that will work. What the unit does is limit the size of the second drive to the size of the first. What that means is that if you put a 1 TB drive in copy slot and a good working 2 TB drive in the furthest slot - that drive will appear as a 1 TB drive in windows! Once I figured that out, I only use the first slot for daily access of a drive. The GOOD: The unit's micro SD works fine, the USB ports work, and the plug and play nature of the hard drive ports themselves work as well. Overall I'd give this a 7 out of 10.

Comes out of the box ready to work. Plug in the USB and power, insert the drive(s) and viola you are done. The two usb3 ports on the front are a nice bonus as well as the SD card reader. The power cord is just long enough to reach but not so short that you need an extension. The status lights are bright enough to see but not intrude. All in all a good purchase.

Worked well when I first received. Less than 2 months later it stopped working. Amazon won't let me exchange beyond a month. Went to the products web page and it is "under an update" Gave a email address for support. Email came back as undeliverable. Avoid this product.

Excelent

Works as advertised. Reads all my old drives. Super convenient

This isn't supplied with an Australian power plug

Fast, compact, does what it should. I've had it for years and am completely satisfied. I use it with Linux, btw, so it plays well with that.
