External Hard Drive Enclosure, VSVABEFV 3.5 2.5 Inch SATA HDD USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Docking Station with 12V Power Adapter, Support UASP and 8TB Drives

I have 2 external drives that failed on me. After opening their cases I discovered that the circuit boards had fried. Hoping the drivers themselves were still good I tried this dock. It worked with no issues and the drives were recognized by my PC. There is a slight delay, no more than ten seconds when accessing the drives. But once opened videos and music work without freezing. I did put a dust cover over the unused slots to protect them.

It’s pretty good ,feels cheap but operates the way it it’s advertised just can’t move the bay while hardrive spinning cause files won’t go through, best feature I think this has that a lot of hd bay don’t have a ide a slot but this one does and it can move the molex port left to right only had it for a week

DC barrel jack on the rear is loose, making data transfer unreliable. USB port on rear is also very loose. Looks cool and retro, but operates like crap. One star wouldnt buy again; very frustrating.

I'm happy with this docking station as it's adds convenience with accessing IDE and SATA without having to open the desktop case to add and remove drives. It even managed to read a drive I thought was dead, that was a happy day, still able to use the drive. And having all the other ports for different card formats on the front is a plus for older formats, many which has gone bye-bye. Tech moves so fast. The reason for the four stars is the sliding Molex plug in the station, to me it seems that this could be a weak point if the contacts fail. IIRC this is also a USB 1.0 and 2.0, not a 3.0 so your R/W speeds will be slower. Make sure to match your desire USB speeds to your device.

I have a lot of old IDE drives 2.5 and 3.5. Some work while others not so much. I've been in IT for over 30+ years so having a tool such as this is awesome for copying data from old drives. Reads Sata drives as well. Not really a fan of those cables that have connections built into them. So far its read every IDE or Sata drive I've connected to it.

When it does work, it's great, but sometimes it doesen't see the drive in it. Then I use my other device.

I had an old desktop that finally died on me. I salvaged the reusable components, including a 1 TB hard drive. The new computer's hard drive was a bit on the small side, so I ordered this casing and installed the 1 TB drive. Plugged in the power cord and the USB and now I have plenty of drive space!

VSVABEFV the 2 Sata bays are working fine .. the CompactFlash slot - a pin got bent over & straighten attempt it broke off - so black taped over slot .. the only other slot I've try'd is the USB & works fine .. NOW the IDE port full size & laptop > Very Disappointed as I've try'd lots of drive brands (read the WesternDigital warnings - my primary oldies) Can't get a recognition either size - had to hold the laptop size down as it wanted to keep pop'g out ... anyway at the price point I'm happy enough to not go thru a return nightmare ... the ORICO 5 bay docking station (got at the same time) Sata Only > Very Happy with ... the MEGATEC CD DVD USB player Very Happy with

Fue muy fácil de usar, el disco corre a la perfección dentro de la carcasa.

Have had for over a month now... Works great!

So far no issues. Works well.

Buen producto cumple con sus funciones, lo reconoció la PC sin problemas y todos los puertos funcionaron bien. Llegó bien empacado y la empresa siempre estuvo en contacto. Lo único que me gustaría es que el plástico fuera de mejor calidad no tan frágil. Solo falta probar la función de clonación.

The product is simply in design.. Instructions could...no should be a LOT betterwritten in English. Its first job was to clone a drive... Well is bricked both drives. Not a satisfied customer
