StarTech.com eSATA USB to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station for Dual 2.5” or 3.5” HDD

Pros: Supports both 3.5" and 2.5" drives, super easy to use, supports both eSATA & USB connections, chipset provides very fast transfer speeds compared to other similar docks.

Cons: Power cable is short from the brick to the dock, but long from the brick to the wall outlet. Wish it was the other way around; when I put the dock on my desk the brick doesn't reach the ground so I need to find a place for it. Annoying...

Overall Review: Great product I'd recommend it to others!

Pros: I own two of these. Setup is simple.

Cons: I bought one of these a few years ago, and it worked fine. I have since upgraded my drives to higher capacity, and an issue became apparent: not enough power is provided to the hard drives so that they both can run. I am fine if I turn one off and then turn a second on, but if both are turned on at once, they will keep uninstalling and getting recognized by windows as unformatted discs. They spin up, power down, disappear, etc. I have two of these units, and it happens with both. When I called Startech, they first said it was a cable issue, then a power supply issue, and then that both devices were faulty.

Overall Review: If I had known this would happen, I would have just saved the money and bought the single bay devices. I think the newer hard drives, (mine are lower power and green and high capacity) just need more juice than the device can deliver.
