SABRENTHard Drive Docking Station, Dual HDD Docking Station, Offline Hard Drive Cloner SSD Dock, 2.5 & 3.5 SATA to USB Hard Drive Reader, 2 Bay HDD Enclosure (EC-HD2B)

Second one I've bought to house hard drives from upgraded PCs. Fast delivery, easy installation, does the job, very happy.

Lightweight but sturdy plastic case. Transparant hinged lid to access the drive for installation and removal. USB comms and mains power. Works perfectly. Swap and change drives easily.

I upgraded my old MacBook (when Apple made it possible) over the years so there was an accumulation of 2.5" SATA drives, both conventional and SSDs.I bought this caddy to house four drives, enabling me to store image files and backups. I have two 1Tb drives, a 640Gb drive and a 4Tb SSD. All work fine with this product, connected to a MacBook or iMac. Data transfer rates are good enough for me but I realise that I haven't said anything definitive there. Typical image files are 20-30Mb and I move hundreds at a time.I am withholding a single star because the telltale lights on the front of the caddy no longer work, except during start up.

Okay, so I picked up this SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Docking Station, and honestly? It’s such a lifesaver. I had like a million random files sitting on old hard drives, and this thing made it super easy to access them. No tools, no hassle—just plug it in, and boom, instant storage solution.The best part? It’s FAST. Like, ridiculously fast. I’m talking up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds when paired with USB 3.2. So whether I’m backing up my music, movies, or—yeah, let’s be real—my endless stream of memes, this docking station totally handles it without breaking a sweat. Plus, it supports drives up to 22TB. Like, who even has that much stuff? But hey, it’s nice to know I’ll probably never run out of space.Oh, and it works with Windows, Mac, and Linux, so no matter what device you’ve got, it’ll play nice. If you’re looking for a docking station that’s simple, fast, and actually does what it promises, this is the one. Seriously, 10/10 would recommend to anyone who’s tired of juggling old drives.

I had an older drive dock that was failing to read disks consistently. It would read a lot of gig then my pc would eject the dock. As it was happening on several disks I decided to buy this sabrent on the off chance it was the disk dock. It worked a treat, some of my disks are years old backup disks but this baby read them fine on the first go. So 5 stars, a good price and it saved me loads of grief.

I had a fantastic experience with this docking station after only using it once for a few hours to move files around. I was pleasantly surprised by the transfer speeds—it really holds its own, especially for a USB device! Unlike some USB sticks that can be temperamental, this one has been rock-solid.Setting it up was a breeze; just plug it in, slide in the drive (I used an old 3.5-inch drive), and you’re good to go—easy as pie! If you’re looking for a reliable and hassle-free way to connect your devices, I’d definitely encourage you to consider Sabrent. Their products have proven to be just as straightforward and efficient as this docking station!

First time I used this gizmo, it seemed to work fine - I could read & write to my HDDs without any trouble - first a single HDD - then 2 together - no apparent problems - second time however .... different story - on loading up the HDDs (same ones as I used before), I was greeted by a message stating that "this disk needs to be initialised before you can use it" - same message for both disks - tried them on a different device - one which has worked fine for many years but has a slower USB connection - no change - both HDDs now completely unreadable - all data on both .... lost forever - if you wish to lose all your data, then this is definitely the device for you - although, to be honest, you could simply reformat your HDDs - same result - but far less expense - never going to touch anything from this company ever again

I got a new computer recently and before getting rid of the old one he removed the hard drive. I didn’t think that I would need it again, but I recently realised I needed something off it. So I asked my son was there any way that I could get something to turn this into an external drive. He pointed me towards this.It’s not to small or too large.. I plugged it into the mains and connected it to a USB drive on my computer and up it popped as a new external drive. It was as simple as that and I was then able to access the Data that I required. It can take two hard drive and even more functionality. It looks good, but it is of a slight build. It doesn’t need to be big and bulky as it’s really just two slots for hard drives.
