Hard Drive Docking Station RSHTECH USB 3.0 Aluminum Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock for 2.5" & 3.5" SATA HDD SSD with SD/Micro SD Card Reader and Offline Clone/Duplicator Function Support 16TB Tool-Free

The docking feature is pretty much essential if you want to get on-hand access to large amounts of data. In this day and age, standard spinning-disk hard drives come with pretty reasonable cost per gigabyte and getting generous multi-terabytes of storage space doesn’t represent such a huge investment like in the past. While you keep those drives on hand, you can easily pop them in or out of the hard drive docking station according to your needs.Whether you want to clone your hard drive to SSD or require occasional access to bare drives, this RSHTECH dock is a dual-bay hard drive docking station that’s perfect for the job. With the super speed of the USB 3.0 interface, it’s ready to tackle all your needs quickly and efficiently. For a dual-bay model, it’s priced quite fairly in my opinion, considering its powerful abilities.I also really appreciated the fact that this dock uses a redesigned cloning technology which can copy your important files from one disk to another without the need for a computer. All you have to do is plug the hard drives together and keep the ”Copy” button pressed for a few seconds until you see the LED flashing. This means that the cloning process has started and to track the progress you can check the LED which has four stages from 25% to 50%, 75%, and finally to 100%. Keep in mind that when you're cloning your drive, the capacity of the B drive (target) should be larger/equal than the A drive (source).Overall, I am pretty happy with this purchase, and so far I haven't bumped into any technical issue with this dock.

I’m pretty stoked on this HD reader. “Stoked on an HD reader?” You ask. Well yes I actually am. I normally use StarTech readers. And they work great. For about 6 months to a year. Then they break. Maybe it’s me.... I use these almost every day. I transition from WFH and WFO a lot. Even before the current pandemic. So I carry two 3 TB drives with me everydaySide bar: this is what my IT department thought was the best option for me. It’s not, but it’s what I have to work with.Now, why am i stoked on those reader. The main thing is the on/ off switch. I don’t want my home office to have a bright blue glow at all times. The StarTech does not have a switch, you have to unplug it to turn it off. And that’s a pain in the @£% when your desk is clean and routed they way you like it. Enter the RSHTech reader and BAM! One press of a button and no annoying glow! Moving on to other stoke features....This is also a SD card reader and USB ports! One less single to use, or piece of junk to clutter my desk up. I love a clean workspace.... and I’m sure you do too.As far as tech specs, it can handle up to 12TB drives 2.5 and 3.5” drives and it can clone your drives for backup/ archiving. I think I paid about $150 for a StarTech that clones, and $80 for a straight drive reader. So it’s about 1/4 of the price and does more. Even if I only get 12 months out of it, it is 100% worth it and a money saver!

The item shipped quickly by the seller and come in perfect condition. The box is well structured and inside the unit itself placed in a plastic bag, a warranty card and in a separated section the USB cable and a 100V - 220V switching power supply. Since there was no possibility to choose, it shipped with US plug. But, it is not a big problem because the unit can be used either in 110V or 220V. However, whatever I tried, I was not able to reach the 5Gbps transfer speed with the unit. However, a 3Gbps speed seems rock solid. Tested with multiple SSDs, HDD and SSHD. So, you can expect something around 370MBytes / sec read and write speed on the attached disks. (if you have fast disk enough of course...)Pros:- Plug & Play, no need to install, no tooling needed.- Nice design, completely fits in modern desktops.- Aluminimum frame- The lights not too strong, so it will not disturb you- micro SD and SDXC reader. However, in my case it was not super fast. ~35MB/sec.- Two additional USB3.0 connection with USB2 backward compatibility. So, you can use your older cam for example...- Good sticking, thin enough rubber feets- Comes with USB cable and power adaptor- Quality materials usedCons:- The SATA section can be dettached from the system only together. So, if you have two disks and wanted to change one, you should "drop off" both.- Do not try to plug an heavy, standard 7200RPM HDD while the unit is on... Most likely it will fail to start. Switch off, insert your HDD, switch on.- thin SSDs might not being hold tightly enough.- The SDXC reader showing only USB2.0 speed & device.In a scale of 1 to 10, I would give 8 or 9. The decvies is near perfect.If you are looking for an a good and stable device that not heating up and having multiple connectivity (micro sd, sdxc, 2 usb 3.0 ports and 2 SATA dock with capability to run 3.5" HDDs as well, this would be a good choice for you. If you are looking for a closed docking station for your disks, this might not be the best for you.Summarized the whole: It worth the money. The games running great and loading in really fast from the attached SSDs. Great value for the money, recommended product.

I needed an all in one solution for backing up some hard drives and this delivered. It seems super solid, and have had no problems reading/writing to my HDDs. Did a full rsync of 10TB with no problems. Have yet to try out the other features like SD card reader but I'm sure it will not disappoint. Very good all-in-one solution for a cheap price, highly recommend! 10/10
