Questions & Answers

What is the length of the wires?

Given that it's a bad USB 2, it doesn't matter how long the cable is. There are no unused cable channels. br>br>I've just finished writing a 1-page document. This dock received a one-star review, with the cable being a major flaw. They provided a shoddy, low-cost USB cable (USB-C). USB Type-C connector on one end, USB Type-A connector on the other On the other hand, A) only achieved 72 megabytes per second, which is USB 2. As a result, I swapped it out for a genuine USB 3.0 device. The transfer rate instantly jumped to a steady 238MBytes/sec with just one Gen2 capable cable (and nothing "fancy," just plain Amazon Basics cable). br>br>By simply replacing their junk cable with a proper one, they went from 72 to 238.

Is it necessary to turn off the dock before inserting the drives?

I'm using Windows 7 and can't hot swap. Pulling a drive causes the second drive to stop responding, and replacing a drive isn't detected until the unit is powered up again.

Include your USB 3.0 connector. ?

Does inserting a second drive, as with the Startech and Cineraid units, cause the first to dismount?

Most of these dual docks will require you to first unmount the single drive, then turn the unit off with the switch, then insert your second drive and turn it back on. You could only do this with a much more expensive enclosure. I don't own this computer, but I've worked for internet companies since 1993. I've used a variety of dual bay "toasters" and have never seen one that could meet your needs on this point. I hope this has been of assistance.

(Isn't it supposed to be like this? ) USB3
3/5

The USB 2 port on one Gen2 device is a joke. 0 cable - What is the lowest price you can find? This is what I just bought for my Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C device. C 3. 1 Lenovo ThinkPad Gen2 To be used with the fastest HDD (WD Red Pro 7200 w/256MB cache) that is currently available. br>br>After setting up the equipment, I did some test data transfers from the PC to the HDD. It began at 82 megabytes per second and gradually decreased to 72 megabytes per second. br>br>Is it really only 72 years old? br>According to the specifications, this dock can handle "up to 10Gbps data rate" (and that's a direct quote)! br>br>I'd used the USB-drive that came with the computer. USB Type-C to Type-A A Type-C cable to connect the device to my PC's Type-C port A USB3. There is only one outlet for Gen2. Because I was suspicious of the cable, I replaced it with a certified 3. 1 USB 2. 0 port (Gen2) Type C to Type- A cable. I restarted the data transfer test, and the transfer rate increased to 238MBytes/sec (probably the maximum this HDD can handle). 238 from 72! br>br>To make matters worse, the cable in question is Type-C. USB 3. 0 is indicated by a blue plug. There is no capability. Nonetheless, at least 140MBytes/sec should have been delivered. As a result, we're dealing with two types of deception: (1) non-payment of taxes; and (2) non-payment of taxes. 3. delivering on the promise USB1 and USB2. When USB3 is marked in blue, there is no performance. There is no capability.

It's a USB 3
5/5

0 port, not a USB 2. 0 port. 1 Gen2! Store4PC was the seller when I bought it on December 21, 2018. Despite reading the reviews and asking questions about whether or not this was a Gen2 device, I bought it. First, it appears to me that there are multiple models with the same model number (DS-1). You won't know what you'll get until it's in your hands (UTC2), so you won't know what you'll get until it's in your hands. There are pictures of the printed circuit board that is at the heart of this device in the reviews, but mine is quite different, so I've attached a close-up of it. If you compare it to previous reviews, you'll notice that all of the revision numbers start with K3082, then the primary chip model, and the version number. Despite the fact that they're all ASMedia chips, mine has the ASM1352R plus the 1543, and the version number is 4. In addition, my circuit is clearly more complex and contains more components. Both the 1352R and the 1543 are USB 3. 0, according to the ASMedia website. 1 Gen2 chips, so assuming the rest of the circuit is properly designed and manufactured, 10G USB speeds are unquestionably possible. BUT there's more to the story than meets the eye. Only Windows 10 is designed to use Gen2 hardware, so if you want to achieve these speeds on a Windows PC, you should know that. This is not the case with Windows 7. Then you must locate a certified Gen2 cable that is, in fact, certified (note that the certification specs appear to limit the length to around 33 inches) and correctly install the certified drivers for all of the involved hardware. All of this is to say that at this point in the USB 3. 0 standard, it is not a 'given. ' 1 roll-out of Gen2 You'll never get close to the stated speeds if you don't go out. br>The bottom line is that this device is Gen2-compliant. capable!.

3/5

I've worked with computers for more than 35 years. I'm just stating that I know what I'm doing when it comes to computers. br>br>I decided it was time to replace my backup drives after 5 years. One was for backing up two directories, and the other was for cloning my machine Drive 0. I had a WD 1 TB hard drive and a Toshiba portable 1 TB hard drive with me at the time. With those drives, I spent about four hours total on both jobs. 5 hours - but - They were both USB 2 devices. br>br>As a result, I came across the Sabrent 3 while looking for replacement drives. On this page, there are 0 Docking Stations. When I put that together with two WD 2 TB hard drives, I thought it would be fantastic. I didn't turn it on until I was ready. My mouse became stuck and unresponsive almost immediately, though I was able to get it to stutter step around the screen on occasion. It was a complete disaster. All I had to do was turn off the Sabrent external drive docking station's power, and my system was back to normal. br>br>All right, I figured a reboot would clear things up. With the docking station still turned off, I rebooted and got my backup software up and running, with the cursor in the right place so all I had to do was click start; with that done, I was confident that the first job, the clone, would run FASTER than the old usb 2. There are no connections available. It took three minutes to get from the computer to the drive. I sat down to do other things after turning on the docking station and pressing the start button. After three hours, I returned expecting to see a good clone that ran faster than the previous one, which had taken about two and a half hours. br>br>What I saw was a job that was only halfway completed. I was able to see that the I/0 was painfully slow by using the system explorer software. It was running, but both jobs (clone and BU) would take at least 8 hours to complete. br>br>Then, not remembering my mouse being so messed up, I tried to click on abort on my BU software. It was, and I couldn't seem to get it to fit over the abort icon. It either sat there frozen or moved around so erratically that I had to restart my computer. br>br>I WAS SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE SABRENT DOCKING STATION THAT I THREW IT OUT. br>br>I had a brand new 1 TB portable drive on hand. I swapped out the docking station for that, and things were better than they had ever been before. The clone and the bu were separated for an hour. The portable drive had a capacity of 3. SABRENT was connected to the same port as 0 and connected to the same port as 0 and connected to the same port as 0 and connected to the same It didn't have any outside sources of energy. My computer is a top-of-the-line Dell with 12 GB of RAM and an Intel I5 processor. br>br> br>br>As a result, you should only purchase at your own risk. If you have the time and a mouse that isn't as bad as mine, you might have a better chance. I'm confident that the two WD 2TB portable drives I just ordered, which aren't even self-powered, will perform admirably.
