Neeyer USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 3.5/2.5 HDD, SSD Hard Drive Clone Docking Station with Duplicator/Offline Cloner Function [10TB & UASP Support]

Although I tried it online I still received an error message that says cloning is an offline process. In the 120g-2 box, I put a smaller one. We put a 5'' SSD (with Windows 7 software, data size of about 40g) in slot A and took a spare 500g drive in slot B. A 5" disk that has been formatted and is ready to use In slot B there was some unused test data. As shown in the screenshots, both disk details are displayed correctly in Disk Manager. In third-person, I held the Copy button for 3 seconds (until I saw the lights flicker) and then quickly pressed it again, and Disk Mgr proceeded to copy A progress light lit on the device that showed proportions go from 25 to then There are approx. I beeped 3 times about 20 minutes later, and then it was done. Using Disk Mgr, we can see that the SSD is fully operational after being offline for a while, and the hard disk is The rest (347g) shows unallocated, as you expected. The reserved 100mb is 119g in size and the data partition (just like the original disk) is 119g. As I understand it, I clicked on the offline drive to bring it online, and all the files showed that they were intact as well (Win 7 installation, 40g data size). In order to validate the Win process on the new harddrive, I placed it into the same machine that the original SSD OS was installed on, and the drive booted fine and was Win validated. Just as expected, easy and painless!.

The Pros are Worked right out of the box with Raspberry Pi 4. Having a mechanical on/off button ensures that Raspberry Pi can be restarted easily in the event of a power break. It has a bottom vent. I hope this is enough to allow the disks to stay cool. Since these are usually idle, they are usually left to idle. The passive cooling Raspberry Pi case is the same black color. Cons )

In the event of an identical replacement, the other disk goes offline. The problem cannot always be attributed to defects, Linux bugs, or just simply an expected behavior.

There are little vents in the bottom of this enclosure, which is very convenient because one of the major weaknesses of these kinds of hard drive enclosures is heat buildup at the bottom of the hard drive, where it connects to the SATA port, which can cause There have already been other units that have failed because of this. The problem is more serious when the size of the sphere is large HDDs with a lot of capacity can get very You have a temperature of 135 degrees inside! This unit is set up on top of a router fan and the hard drive temperatures are staying in the mid-70s so far The range is between 85° and 90° F. It's also a little smaller than most of these types of units. The idea appeals to me.

A total of $350 was paid. An expensive enclosure with ESATA/USB 2 port was needed. In the past week, there have been zero failures. Getting one of these and two double docks, I was able to store 50 TB of movie, television series, audio tracks, and documentaries on it. After running the unit non stop for 3 days copying HDDs one by one, it didn't give me The only thing I don't like about it is that there is no individual on/off switch. Hence, you only have to shut off one disk at a time. The only issue is that since I bought two, two disks can always be running since I purchased two to achieve 4 bays. This was a very good price for the quality of the product. The shipping was right on time. The packaging was minimal, but the items It would be better to install a 4 or 6 bay controller with individual on/off switches, but these worked just fine for now.

Overall, it is a good item, but not perfect. The transfer rate is pretty good. There's only one issue - it's not powerful enough to run two 7400 rpm Enterprise servers. As the 5" drives spin up on both drives at the same time, it draws too much power, causing a reset which results in a As a NAS interface, it can access and control both drives, but both drives have to be turned on and off at the same time.

In the category of offline cloners and HDD docking stations with maximum support of 10TB, this is the best value for money you could wish for. It is pretty clear that no other manufacturer can offer a better product after looking through negative reviews and seeing just a few complaints of longevity issues. Say what you want about the design, though. In this case, there is nothing to complain about. Compact and stable, the chassis has a huge amount of strength. (A problem I have encountered with many electronics is the opposite of what indicator lights do they light up the room at night. ) The dock is also the only one I have seen with bottom vents for heat dissipation. Regardless of the purchase price, it sits firmly on the desk and looks smart because the person responsible for its design was a smart one. Save yourself some cash. If its competitors are this cheap, you'd be able to buy two of them. Before turning on your computer, plug in the HDDs then shut them off before taking them out. Although I did not see this in the manual, this is common among most hard drive docks, as I have not seen any that are really hot The $70 to $80 range is a good price range for swappable docks.

Several months ago, I purchased this so I could connect external HDDs to my Raspberry Pi - The transfer rates were in the range of 80 to 90 MB/s, so it worked well for that purpose. Disk activity lights are present for each of the drives, and they are not very bright and a bit muted, which is a great feature. My only concern with this bay is that two of the drives are thin. As a result, the slot for the HDD is left with a gap along the width. Due to the fact that there isn't much to hold the drives in place other than gravity and the slot itself, the thinner drives tend to move backwards This is causing me concern because I do go back and forth when handling it. Due to the mechanical nature of these spinning drives, it is possible that the drive could start vibrating and eventually fail. The other three are listed below. There is no movement when the drive fits in the slot since it is 5" thick and is regular thickness. The SSD has no problems with these, so it is perfect for SSD based computers.

As it was purchased at the same time as a Yottamaster that just failed today, I have set it up and it seems OK on the surface, and the set-up is straightforward. I was able to get set up without much difficulty. In the first place, you will benefit from As a result of a fan directed at the docking station, the drive's temperature began to fall from its usual 40-degrees Using the fan is a great way to reduce the 42 C range to 34 C and below after 15 minutes, which can become a huge benefit when transferring several files at once GB of files, defragging, hot days, etc. This is a warning for those of you purchasing docking stations and enclosures for hard drives. Please do not use the on-line ordering system Yottamaster failed because there was no off button on the units (the reason for failure) Invest in an electrical on-demand system The off switch should be plugged into your power strip, so you can turn off all three drives at the same time. A strip comes to an end at the end.
