USB 3.0 Hub With Power Switches

This unit works as advertised. It is easy (but not fast) to clone one drive to another without the use of a computer using this docking station.

I bought this to assist in formatting/preparing/scanning some drives that I bought for use in my NAS. I also have some other Sabrent products that work well for me. For the most part, it worked well with WD drives. WD Diagnostics could detect drives, their serials, run SMART tests, etc. But SeaTools could not detect the drive correctly and would not report any data on the drives, using either slot. I could see serial and SMART results with Crystal Disk Info, but couldn't do scans/repairs with SeaTools. Since that use case is important for 50% of the drives I use, I had to return it. If I were only using WD drives, I wouldn't have noticed this issue.And just to verify it wasn't just the drive - using a different HDD hub works fine and SeaTools can detect the drive without any issue. Maybe the chipset inside?

I've been through a ton of these kinds of docks over the past decade, and most of them are pure garbage. Chinese knockoffs and weird off-brand models rarely worked for long, if at all, and it was almost a guarantee that one of the adapters wouldn't function out of the box...Not this model! This things worked 100%, right out of the box, with every adapter working just fine. It's compact, and the cover is a godsend, since the drive bays tend to collect dust and what-not over time. Finally, it's lightweight and compact, so it's easy to store. All in all, this was WELL worth the price, and I'd buy more products from this company in the future!

Solid all aluminum construction, fast, quiet and cool running. Using with Mac mini M1. Combination of 3.5 and 2.5 drives(with adapters of course) from 1tb to 14tb in all bays. Love the way each bay door inserts and removes its drive simply by opening and closing. No opinion on tech support because haven’t needed any.

works well for docking old hard drives that operating systems no longer work but have files for use or being stored. However, the drives get really hot if left on for long periods of time. So, I have to get what I need and then turn off.

Cumple su función , pero sería bueno que también leyera la información de los discos duros antes han cumplido la función de discos duros externos , no me gustó que ingresé un disco duro Seagate que antes cumplía función de disco duro externo y no me leyó la información que tenía en el .

Able to get the files from my dead computer onto my new computer. Also an easily removable back up storage drive with additional hard/S drives.

This device works great I have no complaints and have been using it to load and off load drives for a few months now. Does exactly what I need.

Works as it should. A great price, too.

My husband love it able to store him pictures

There's nothing like walking from one room to another... or across town with a 2 TB drive. Movies, music, etc. It comes with it's own power supply and is an actual bootable drive. (Good for Linux distro's) I haven't tried the laptop drive part yet but I'm looking at 4 dead laptops with a hammer in my hand. I bought one for my niece for Christmas and gave her an old 500 gig drive I had with 400 gigs of movies on it. Part of it had over 80 Godzilla movies on it alone. I love it.

I liked it a but after 6 months It would no longer connect to the computer. I tried several different computers and laptops but nothing. I am so sad.

Exelente para clonar

Works for spinning or SSD drives with no problem. I have used it for making direct copies of HDDs and also through USB from the computer(s) with no issues, all up to 4TB is working so far.

It works

10 extra powered USB ports. Doesn't feel cheap but I haven't had it long enough to comment on the durability.

Simple easy to use.

Seems a bit chinzy in material but works just fine.

This device has a good number of USB ports. The powered-on lights are low-lit. The power buttons are on the backside of the unit depending upon where you set it up. Your USB 3 devices better have an extension on the USB cord to get the best length.Basicly buy USB extended cables along with this unit.

Quick and easy assembly makes this perfect for that old but important hard drive that you need to replace in your notebook.

Likes:1. Solidly-built aluminum case. I have an older notebook hard drive in one right now, running a surface check. The case has gotten warm but not hot. That helps protect the drive.2. Very good USB3 cable, great length. I hate short cables, my desk is crowded and sometimes an external drive needs to sit a few feet away from my laptop.Dislike:Fitting the end of the case in with drive attached was a bit difficult. The little screwdrivers are cute, but I had to use a real screwdriver and press hard on the case end to get it to seat properly.Notes1. It's USB-A on both ends, not USB-C.2. It works fine with Linux. They need to update their description.3. Haven't tried their tech support. Registering for an account there wasn't as intuitive as it could be, but worth if for to extend the warranty.4. About storage. I'm using old notebook hard drives, 500GB. I presume if you can physically fit the notebook drive into the case, the case can handle any capacity drive.

This is the perfect usb hub/power switch. Works perfectly on all of my equipment and I love the option to turn items off and on.

My old laptop had some failing hardware but a good drive. So I used the case to convert my old laptop battery into an USB storage device. installation was real easy. Plug the little control board to the drive, drop the drive into the case and screw the lid on. The screws are a bit finicky due to its size but it was not to difficult to do. The drive fist really snug in the case. There is not much shock absorption so I would not throw the drive to much around especially when it is plugged in and running. This case was aluminum not plastic as some folks reported. Solid touch and feel to it. What is nice is the drive has a regular USB receptacle so using standard cables are an option. It came with a USB cable so it was ready to use after dropping the drive in it. I did not notice any issues. I was able to copy a couple of hundred Gigabyte back and forth and I was able to reformat the drive to get rid of the windows operating system that was still on in. I really like this as a solution to reduce computer waste. Reusing computer parts and saving money at the same time is a great benefit. Plus, when recycling the computer I know no one can get sensitive information from it since I kept the drive with my data. One little side note, they even supplied a baby sized screwdriver to use for the two screws. Nice touch and useful for folks who done have all the tools. Also there was a travel pouch that came with it. All in all a really nice product. I highly recommend it.

A little too narrow. Did not fit my laptop hard drive

Has everything I need to install my SSD.

nothing to dislike

Product works great, turned my internal hard drive into an external hard drive and that was all I was hoping for! Product is well made, easy plug and play pretty much, and now I have a new 1 terabyte hard drive I can plug into anything. So nice that it also came with a USB cable!

It would have been nicer if the usb charging only inputs were identifiable, mines came all with blue plastic, which usually indicates usb 3.0 data i/o.

I do like this cover; I have already dropped it a couple of times but have had no issues; I like that the cord is just an old, ordinary usb on both ends for a change. The one issue to be aware of is that the hard drive too easily slips out, which is why I have dropped it at least once (when I realized then I am more careful). If there is a way to secure it, I must have missed it. The usb fits very snug, which I like, but when I go to unplug the cord form the various computers I use, the hard drive slides right out with the cord. I have made my peaceful resolution with this issue and other than that, I am satisfied.

Nice little enclosure. It is very easy to get an SSD installed.

Small footprint, well made, individual power controls, very useful!
