Are Usb 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Stations Safe

Hard drive is plug and play. Nice that it has usb 3.0

The USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive adapter cable w/UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD / HDD works with my Windows laptop but it seemed like I needed a USB 3.0 port to provide enough power because when plugged into a USB 2.0 it would not light up. No special software or drivers required - the hard drive showed up as another drive when I looked at My Computer. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Relatively small portable hard drive with USB 3.0 capability. I like the indicator light which some budget portable drives do not have to indicate when the drive is in use. Read/write speeds are very fast compared to my old drives (although I am only using USB 2.0 so I can't make full use of it). I read pretty terrible reviews about the included software, so I didn't even try to use it.

This is my third WD hard drive, so I expect it to be as dependable as the first two have been. Love the 3.0 USB,seems plenty fast so far. Typical great shopping experience from B&H also!!

WD 5TB My Passport for Mac USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Midnight Blue) Purchased 06/10/2020: Backed up my data and storage allows for many additional activities and tasks.

It is truely one of the fastest portable USB 3.0 hard drive out there. It also has smaller form factor. So the price is right. The USB 3.0 cable could be longer. I had to donwload My Passport driver from the WD site to make my PC recognize the drive (on WinXP SP3). Another anoying thing, why some portable drives put their LED or activity light on the wrong end!! I will purchase many more of this, for this price or less.

The Passport USB 3.0 1 TB portable hard drive is the perfect size with able storage space for traveling and knowing any files you will need are secure on this device.

This was ordered with the LaCIe 4TB Mini USB 3.0 External hard drive and fits it perfectly. It provides protection from the general elements for the specified hard drive and has met all expectations thus far. I would definitely recommend this if you're purchasing the aforementioned external hard drive.

Great portable & fast 3.0 USB Hard Drive. I use it for backing up my computer internal drive and also for storing video when editing via FCP X. No complains!

This hard drive has a fast usb 3.0 connection which makes transferring big files easy. Also, this product comes with a WD Apps software but you don't have to install that.
