Customer Reviews
This is an excellent dock for adding extra drives for a desktop, notebook, even for a Tivo. I have several and all work as expected for extra storage. Connected to a desktop, it easily allows for extra storage, I can mount and dismount drives as I wish. I've used 750GB as well as 1TB 3.5" drives. ESATA works wonderful, much faster than the USB, so I definitely recommend everyone to try to hook this up preferably via ESATA. One connected to my S3 Tivo, it expands our storage for recordings. I do not move or carry my drives around so I can save money because I can buy bare drives instead of portable drives with cases. Final note, I have not utilized the "Backup" button so I cannot speak for that function.
I use it for the esata to copy to offline storage my nightly backup files which are all on the order of 5-10 gig files. I achieve full sata speed which tends to be 70-110 mb/sec depending on the cylinders being used. HDtune shows the same benchmarking graph for a drive I had installed internally vs. when in the doc. The fastest is my 2tb seagate while a 300 gig maxtor is only half as fast - but it's the drive that's slow, not the dock.
The best I can get with USB is about 25-30 mb/sec, which is all I've ever got using usb drives on several machines. The limit is in the usb interface. A few seem to run at about 20 and the fastest at about 30. Having the usb is important since it works on any machine pretty much.
The one problem I've had is that I can't turn the unit on when I'm playing any sounds. It crashes my system. But this is likely my pci express x1 interface drivers for my esata card. I have a JMicron Technology Corp jmb36x card.
I did have to trim back the connector going to the esata card as mentioned in a comment. Apparently, this unit does not abide by the spec for esata cables which calls for a recessed female socket (which is designed with the external aspect of the interface in mind). Once I did that, it works reliably. Before I trimmed it, any movement of my computer would tend to dislodge the cable at the computer end.
