Buyer Evaluations
Getting owned one of the Thermaltake BlackX versions of these sort of docking solutions before, I was eager to try a single of these new dual unit stations.
These are a fairly solid product and I discovered them substantially less costly (by about 25% or so) on Amazon than Newegg. The only negative I have in comparing this to my last docking station is that the Thermaltake was a snug fit. The three.5" drive felt extremely secure and stable in it. There was no room for wiggling.
This docking station is not as snug. In fact, when you've docked your drives in it, they can still wiggle if you nudge them. These do not detract substantially from the high quality, but I would be more cautious with putting them in an undisturbed location than ahead of. If I had paid the full price tag Newegg and other people were charging, it may be adequate to make me return it and look for some thing with a tighter fit.
I would totally not hesitate to advise this to somebody searching to attach extra storage, backup drives, or even a person like myself who has a shelf full of three.5" drives that they only occasionally need to retrieve some thing from. It beats the resolution I had years ago with two or 3 dozen big isolated external cases with energy adapters, fans, ribbons, USB cables...
Now... when does the triple and quadruple dock arrive?
Pros:
-works superb as plug and play with Win7
-comes with 2 SATA cables and 1 USB Cable (only one particular essential for each HDD's)
-AC cable comes with a brick
-individual energy buttons for every single bay
Cons:
-a tad sizeable in size
-energy cable is a bit short
