Jay 4/15/2013 8:27:16 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Clunky and cheap doors Pros: It fills a need that I had to allow me to access drives easily by just docking externally for ESATA. Cons: On my first use the small 2.5" door fall off when removing a 3.5" drive for the first time. I returned for a replacement. The new one did the same thing after only a handful of uses. I will not return this and just leave the small 2.5" door broken. It is a bad design. Also, as mentioned I use this specifically for ESATA. I have have found myself needing to reboot with the drive installed a few times to get this to work. Pretty annoying Other Thoughts: I think this item is overpriced. I did get use a coupon code to get this for $13 off so it was a bit better. This is not worth the $55 normal price. When it does work it fills the need I have to access whatever drive I need quickly. I use backup software to backup to HDD's I have laying around and it is much quicker than any USB HDD I've used. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 1/9/2013 8:01:07 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good so far. Pros: Just tested the USB3 interface with a SATA2 Corsair SSD loaded in the IcyDock. HD Tune and Sandra Lite benchmark scores were between 170 and 190 MB/s. I copied an 80GB directory tree from a SATA3 SSD to the SATA2 Corsair SSD in the IcyDock via the USB3 interface. Write speeds consistently stayed between 160 and 170 MB/s for the entire 80GB copy. So far, this is faster than my other hard drive docs. Cons: None yet. Other Thoughts: Haven't tested SATA3 SSD to SATA3 SSD speeds yet. Bought 2 of these for faster field cloning purposes. Long term performance and stability is TBD. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
