Most Critical Review

Inconsistently fails to recogonize an insertted drive in either bay or corrupts the MFT drive table!

Syba SY-ENC50091 USB 3.0 Dual Bay SATA HDD Docking Station
Syba SY-ENC50091 USB 3.0 Dual Bay SATA HDD Docking Station

Pros: Small Form factor is the only plus

Cons: This is my third ENC50091 USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station and will also be the last Syba product. This docking station has corrupted the MFT drive tables twice on both a very small 160GB and a large 4TB drive. Same issues with both, "unrecognized file system, do you want to format the drive? NO!" Both times where it corrupted the drives has been the exact same issue. Also, a numerous times the docking station will fail to recognize the inserted drive. My other BlacX Thermaltake docking stations with 100's of hours on them have been flawless with data integrity. Very disappointing from Syba. My first Syba ENC50091 has been flawless thus far.

Overall Review: No, This is one docking station that I would stay to avoid at all costs to to the frequency of destroying your data without notice. If a Firmware update could be installed that would fix these issues, with 100% certainty that it WON'T corrupt the data, then it would be an OK product, but reliable or trustworthy it is not.

Awesome height adjustable standing desk that has a small footprint on the desk surface

FLEXISPOT Home Office Height Adjustable Standing Desk Converter MT7 Series 28" Width Computer Desk Riser with Removable Deep Keyboard Tray Black

Pros: Fantastic functionality with this highly adjustable and very sturdy standing desk. Was impressed at just how small the foot print was on the glass desk that it was purchased for. Great simplicity with the ease at which the desk it raised or lowered. Perfect and was exactly what I was looking for in a standing desk. Did not use the provided keyboard tray, but if needed this adds even more surface space to work on. Also great packaging so no parts were damaged or nicked.

Cons: It weights more than I would have thought, but with the extra weight come durability and sturdiness.

Overall Review: Highly recommended and went with the black version.
