Customer Reviews

note the 1TB limit
I was thinking of buying this and then saw that it specifies a 1TB drive size limit. That seems odd - I can't imagine what electronics there are in the box that will care what the drive size is, so maybe it is not a real limit. Other docks I looked at don't specify a limit, and in the end I bought one that was also offered as a bundle with a 1.5TB drive to be sure.

Docking Bay
Black, can sit on the desk, is transportable.
Good alternative if your rig doesn't have pace for a SATA testing bay
It is really portable and is light and well durable. All you need carry is this and a USB cable along with the power lead.
Can test laptop 2.5 inch and 3.5inch SATA drives.
I used mine portably and at home to isolate HDD's to defrag and virus scan them.
Will connect toWin 2000, XP and Vista. Does not need the HDD to be iinstalled, it will pop up as an external HDD usually will. Is also compatible with Linux.
The release button and flap feel durable but make a tinny noise if pressed harshly. My only concern is the risk of ESD damage to a HDD because the top is exposed so I tend to place it on an ESD mat away from other components.

Well recommended
Very easy to use, my disk showed up as normal drives in windows and you can write to it as soon as you have formatted the drive.
Worked seemlessly with 2.5 and 3.5 disks. Spring mechanism moves for the size of disk to keep it in place.
Good transfer speed, I copied 60gb in less than 10mins I have a very large no of small files.
