StarTech Dual-Bay 2.5/3.5in SATA Duplicator Dock, 28GB/min (SDOCK2U313R) | Standalone cloner copier, Sector-by-sector, SATA III 6Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps, 4Kn, TRIM, Toolless, Eject buttons, No PC

Not really hot swap as you need to use windows disk manager every time you swap out drives after safely remove hardware.

Once set up and did practice run it worked well. Much quicker than via USB or network system. Good investment for the future. Easy to set up but you do need to read the full instructions.

I have copied several disks with no problems. As I am in my late seventies, the labelling is difficult to read. The source disk is disk 2 at rear. Target is disk 1 at front. The labelling for this is very small print on front panel. I have placed sticky labels to avoid error. Otherwise no problems.

Good product, prompt delivery, many thanks.

Good product fast delivery works well thanks will buy off you again thanks 😊

I bought this to upgrade my PC and media server’s SSD’s to a larger disk, without having to fuss around installing fresh OS’ and transferring all my files over. The transfer was simple. I input my SSD in the master slot and the target disk being the larger SSD I was upgrading to. The process took 10 minutes. It was just a case of installing my new SSD into my machine and creating a partition for the unused space. Great product, I hope I see many year’s out of it!

The data transfer rate was much lower than it should have been on USB3.0, around 70MB/s (as recorded using Blackmagic Disc Speed test) instead of the 150MB/s I get with other USB3 external drives. StarTech technical support was very good in going through the problem and we tried different computers, leads and drives. The low data rate persisted even on a USB-C connection. They concluded it was faulty and suggested a replacement. So 5 stars for customers service but 1 for a malfunctioning device. I did not get as far as trying the duplication function. The construction the device is a bit "plasticky" and does not feel as sturdy as my previous StarTech USB2 external caddy. SDOCK2U313R USB3.1 dock

I've used several cheaper Chinese enclosures and docking stations and they all fail, sometimes wiping out partition and master file tables. Used the Startech twice and it has been flawless. Pay a bit more for reliability! The extended support is nice too.

Facil de usar,cumple con las especificaciones

Cet appareil est fonctionnel, il permet de faire des copies de disque identique !

Very good duplicator, able to use stand-alone mode like the 5 way model.

Die StarTech.com SDOCK2U313R Dockingstation überzeugt durch eine konsequente technische Umsetzung und hohe Zuverlässigkeit im täglichen Einsatz an einem Linux-Server. 1. Hervorragende Chipsatz-Wahl (ASMedia ASM1352R): StarTech setzt hier auf den ASMedia ASM1352R Controller, was sich in der Praxis sofort auszahlt. Volle 10Gbps: Der Controller nutzt die USB 3.1 Gen 2 Bandbreite tatsächlich aus. Nativer UASP-Support: Das Gerät wird unter Linux sofort mit dem uas-Treiber eingebunden, was für optimale Performance und geringe CPU-Last sorgt. 2. Stabilität unter Linux: Viele USB-SATA-Bridges haben unter Linux mit Stabilitätsproblemen oder Kernel-Blacklists zu kämpfen. Diese Dockingstation hingegen läuft absolut stabil. Es gibt keine Verbindungsabbrüche, und die volle Geschwindigkeit steht dauerhaft zur Verfügung. 3. Standalone-Duplikator: Die Offline-Klon-Funktion ist ein extrem nützliches Feature. SSDs oder HDDs lassen sich ohne angeschlossenen Computer spiegeln, was Zeit spart und sehr zuverlässig funktioniert. Die Fortschrittsanzeige ist dabei klar und verständlich. Fazit: Wer eine Dockingstation sucht, die technisch auf dem aktuellen Stand ist und unter Linux ohne zusätzliche Konfiguration stabil läuft, wird hier fündig. Die Kombination aus echtem 10Gbps-Speed und der Duplikator-Funktion rechtfertigt den Preis absolut. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Wert auf technische Integrität legen.

Up to now, I really love this station. I can insert 2 disks at a time. They are both accessible. Read/write speed is fantastic!
