Questions & Answers

A clone function is neither necessary nor desired for me. Is this going to work fine as an external hard drive? In order to avoid accidentally cloning my hard drive, I am concerned. Can you really clone something that easy?

The cloning feature does not appeal to me. I think this dock is great, but I believe that only USB 3 devices will work with it. If you are 0 or 3, then write The number of available is 1. Unless otherwise specified, the speed will be slowed.

WL- Wavelink WAV Link This HDD docking station is part of the ST335A series
5/5

Backups old hard drives are easy with this program. My system is Linux and I didn't have any As USB 3 device, the device shows up in the list of devices. A USB port, card reader and hard drive are connected to a USB 3. 0 hub. Using the micro SD reader and a second micro SD card with the SD adapter in the SD card reader, I made a copy of a micro SD card. The real asset of the unit is the power button, since one of the things to keep in mind when using an internal hard drive is not to remove it when it is The result could be that your data could be corrupted, or the drive itself could be damaged. Before removing a hard drive or installing a new one, you should always turn off the docking station. I have listed the relevant information from a listing of USB devices on my Linux computer below. The computer has a mouse plugged into it as well as a hard drive. This is the character set used by lsusb The following sentence There is no Bus 02 at the moment. There is one port on a network.

A great little dock that looks great hanging from a computer or on its own
5/5

Despite its label as an offline cloning dock, it is also able to be used as a dual slot computer dock. Due to the price differential, I was a little reluctant to buy it, but the price I was offered was sufficient for me to reconsider. In the end, the gamble proved successful. will add USB-capability to my Web site So I can use my old workstations with new laptops, motherboards, and the accessories for the workstation work with the new versions. In that sense, I already own a Startech eSATA dock that is very similar to the Startech USB-cable dock This is the variant C. Compared to the Startech USB-powered unit, the main difference is the type of plug There are two docks for drives, one for ejecting drives and one for powering and copying drives. Click on the dock to see which drive you want to eject. My personal opinion is that for three times as much money, having an ejector button wasn't exactly a good value. As far as build quality goes, it's pretty much as tough and expensive as the one from Startech. Putting in drives is easy enough it's just a matter of pushing them in. To remove them, you just need to yank them out. Since I never seem to find that full 3 with the ejector buttons, I'm not sure why. As a result of the weight of the HD's, it would simply pop up like toast, and just settle back into place. No, there's nothing like a latch to hold them in place. In my case, I hooked the dock up with an Aukey USB keyboard A separate review will be published on the C card (including the MSI GS63VR laptop). Each unit did not make much of a fuss when they picked up the drive and attached it. On the top of the ring, a small red lamp shows that the power is on There is something that is hidden in the images. Likewise, you will see a blue light to the left and right, showing that the source and target drive (first drive of the boot sequence) are communicating. The light fixtures are located at 270 degrees to the south Three-fifths of the way through 315 degree and 45-degree Around the ring is a 90 degree area. On the entire bottom half of the ring there are four more quadrants, each of which will light up during a clone. A blinking drive light indicates when you can access a drive. In the picture, you can clearly see a powerful blue glow ring. I have no idea how that could be produced. In spite of the pretty lights, operating the device via a PC is straightforward. Add a drive to your computer and you can With eSATA cards and docks, you typically have to pull the drives out of an eSATA card or dock to stop the controller from squealing my setting off alarms. A USB dock is how it sees it in essence. Although it is seen as a single dock by the Windows 10 OS, if you try to eject the dock using the Windows 10 OS 'Safely Remove Hardware' task bar icon, you can only remove the dock in its entirety. However, I did not encounter any problems ejecting a single drive. That said, Windows did not seem to notice if I pulled out a single drive. There is a tendency for it to treat drives as unreliable This page has been cached and is hot-linked They are interchangeable. There's really nothing hard about cloning a drive from one to another it's just a matter of placing them both in the dock and pressing the middle button on each drive. Plugging in the unit is all you have to do Neither a computer nor an attachment are required. There is rudimentary software that can be used to backup a drive when you attach the dock to a computer, however it does not display bare drives when I run it in Windows 10. It is imperative that the volumes be mounted and easily As a result, this software cannot be used to clone Linux or Mac OS drives from a Windows PC. You could solve those problems with a program such as Paragon Hard Disk Manager, which I use and recommend for wiping and cloning hard disk The dock offers a good value in terms of its value, in my opinion. I honestly don't understand why I need to spend so much money on a Startech one. The options with USB are few as of right now There may be some reason why Startech prices are as high as they are. It is not as if you will get killer performance from this dock that you couldn't get with an eSATA dock, since it is the drives that are limiting performance, not the USB bus. The trend of USB-connected laptops and motherboards has increased, but it remains a niche This makes it a very nice, compliant, and high performance box that works on a wide range of systems and has a performance edge if you use high performance SSD's or something close to that limit (1,250 MB/s). One Samsung 830 SSD drive, for example, reached a transfer rate of 330 MBps. The short conclusion is that this drive is recommended if you, like me, need to regularly configure, clone, and wipe multiple hard drives and SSDs across.

works if you know exactly how to do it
4/5

Worked like a charm! The following information will help you make an informed decision. 1

You need to make sure it is turned OFF before inserting the drive in the dock. 3.
The unit should be powered on once the drives are firmly inserted. As soon as you see the OTG button ring solid blue where the targets and sources are, you are ready to go. According to this, both drives must be seated properly. 1. 2. 3. If you hold the OTG button until the led ring flashes blue, you've successfully connected. Stop pressing once it starts flashing. The fourth point. Press the button once more while it is flashing. Note 5. See the ring flash where it is marked 25%*6. Come back later. Leave now. The transition from SSD to SSD is about 20 minutes at 128 GB. With a 1TB HDD, it takes 2 hours and 7 minutes to move it to a SSD. As long as it's flashing at 100%, keep waiting. I have eight. If the entire led ring reaches solid blue, turn off the unit and take the drives out. I got it to work. The manual was incomplete. I would have given 5 stars, but it was not clear to me. The YouTube videos on how to operate the unit helped me figure out how to operate it properly. I found it both simple and easy to use and I am delighted with the results. Once again, I made a 30 dollar wager that paid off!.

The device is composed of solid construction and is very easy to connect to a USB port
4/5

It does not require any proprietary drivers - it can connect to a USB port directly. After you plug into this hard drive, Windows will take care of it in no time. I find it rather funny that the manual indicates a driver CD is included in the package, but there is no CD in the package and no CD is needed either.
Pushing a hard drive into the slot and getting it to be recognized and accessed by Windows PC is very simple. * There is an on/off switch on the back of the device if the user does not want it to stay on if not in use. As I connected the device to a USB 3. 1 port, I had performed a USB 3. 0 check. I have no ports, and I'm unable to Based on my measuring, my hard drive speed within the device is very close to the speed of the hard drive within Therefore, I need to ask why only four stars rather than five? 1

Thick disks can fit in the wide slot, which is a good thing. As well as thicker disks, there are thinner disks. Even though those disks fit perfectly in the slot, they wobble a bit and the possibility of them breaking connectors near the bottom of the HDD slot. The disks fit all the connectors perfectly, but they wobble quite a bit and I'm worried about their long life. It would be great if they didn't The belief that something will happen is not the same as trust. There is a dust receptor open on top of the hard drive slot if no hard drive is inserted in it. It would be nice to have a cover for the book.
