Wavlink 12TB USB 3.0 Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station Duplicator/Clone Functio for 2.5" 3.5" SATA HDD/SSD Hard Drive Enclosure 5Gbps Transmission Rates Offline Clone and One Button Backup

Pros: Works exactly as advertised - connection is easy and the transfer rates are great. I have only used it for simplifying data recovery, but it's solid enough to stand up to regular use.

Cons: Make sure your computer has the requisite female USB C connector; the cable included with the product is C to C, so if your machine only has type A ports, you'll have to grab a USB 3 C to A cable.

Pros: - Looks great sitting on the desk - Works fine for any HDD or SSD - Works OK with Macrium Reflect - One button copy is a great function

Cons: - Software doesn't work with Windows 10 - Use of Macrium Reflect is better than internal software - The physical size of the source drive MUST BE LESS than the target drive (this is stated) to use one-button copy. - Being connected via USB doesn't always allow the dock to use its internal software - Some drives require some kind of shim be used to keep the drive from putting pressure on the SATA connectors, as the spring-loaded doors provide no support for anything larger than a 2.5" drive.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this drive, and honestly the workarounds that are necessary are only a minor inconvenience unless you use this device as a means to reproduce a drive often. Unless you have an earlier version of Windows (and I'm talking Windows 98SE, which doesn't make sense since this is a USB 3.0 dock) then this dock has good functionality at best. In order to copy a drive using Macrium Reflect, you must first switch the unit off at the back, insert the source and target drives, switch the unit back on, and when you're done doing what you need to do, right click on the USB icon on the bottom right of the screen and disconnect the entire dock. Unfortunately, there's no way to disconnect single drives. This means that the dock is still on, but is no longer talking to the PC. To stop the drives without harm, hold the 'power' button on the dock for a second, then releases, and hold it again. You'll see the source and target lights flash and then you can physically feel the drives power down. At this point you must switch the unit off at the back to kill all the power, and then switch the unit back on again to be recognized by the PC. The standalone copy function works well, and is actually quite fast. The downside is that the source drive has to be smaller (not drive size but capacity, and no, changing the partition size doesn't help) than the target drive. I would recommend the purchase of a low-capacity SSD if your aim is to leave a core copy of your OS in the dock in order to make it quicker to recover your PC from BSOD or debilitating viruses. It's best to note that the dock's one-button copy function works only when the USB cable isn't attached. Really, this drive could use a lot better functionality, but for the price I'm not complaining - just expect to wear down the unit relatively quickly if you're using it for anything other than light home use.

Pros: Works fine with a single drive plugged in.

Cons: Won't work at 10Gbps. Very deceiving listing this as a USB3.1 device when it only runs at 5GBps.. This is in fact just item #9SIA6PF5VW0783 with a C type cable and costing $10 more. BOTH devices disconnect if you remove either one from the docking bay. This is very very bad when doing file based backups

Overall Review: Buy the other item #.. or better yet, if you have the usb ports, buy 2 $12 single bay docking stations to avoid the hot swap problem.

Pros: Defective product replaced quickly.Very nice and efficient people

Cons: Product deliver in first was defective. What the heck nothing is perfect no matter how hard somebody try.

Pros: Does everything I needed it to do, and quickly. I rebuild PC's for a hobby and always have drives that need duplication or wiping. This does it all, and quickly as well. The price was very fair for all that it does! Thanks for a great product!

Cons: no cons, perfect product, highly recommend!

Overall Review: Highly recommend to anyone who needs to duplicate, wipe, or repair bare drives in a snap. I use a DK04 Lian-Li desk and cannot access my motherboard very easily, so this was a perfect solution for me. Quick transfers is key, and easy setup/use is a plus!

Pros: Works as advertised and easy to use. Other review stated it won't read both drive at same time. It will read both drives!

Cons: none

Pros: Great design and seems to work great.

Cons: none so far

Pros: I've been using this with an iMac for several weeks and it has been working great. I like that I didn't need to install any software - just plug in the power, insert one or two hard drives, connect it to the computer and switch the docking station on. I have a lot of external drives and when a couple cases failed I decided to take this approach to mounting external drives and it works. Also, since the drives are exposed they run a little cooler which should extend their life, plus there is no fan noise. Note that I have not tried the cloning feature yet. Also, I have only used it with full size hard drives though it should work just fine with SSDs. I really like that the adapter to hold the SSDs is built in - just a swinging door which moves out of the way when a full size drive in inserted. Slick!

Cons: One drive was problematic at first but it turned out to be the drive and not the docking station. The other drives have worked without any problems.

Overall Review: All in all I am very happy with the docking station and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
