Can this docking station accommodate 3.5" hard drives?

I used it for 2.5 and it worked. It is advertised to accept both 2.5 and 3.5 hard drive. Buy it and try 3.5 device in it. If it does not work, you should be able to return it.

Is this docking station easy to use?

The docking station is described as 'Plug & Play, no software needed,' which suggests it is easy to use.

Can this docking station be used for data backup and repair?

Dear shopper: I believe this unit is versatile enough to be used for backup and repair. This unit is really a nice unit for the price. You can use it to clone your existing drive unto a different drive, you can use it as an external drive, and you can use it as a backup drive. I bought it from Newegg and the description was indicating that it could be used for 2.5 and 3.5 size drive. Before you buy it, ask the seller about their return policy. I hope this answers your question.

is this a Hard Drive Enclosure?

Yes, this is a hard drive enclosure.
