Hard Drive Docking Stations

I've gone through 3 other brands of SATA drive docking stations, and with most of them I've had trouble getting drives to mount, where the docking station will give up trying to mount the drive if it can't mount the first time. With the StarTech docking station I am pretty much guaranteed that the drive will mount, as the docking station will keep trying to mount the drive until it succeeds. I also like how the indicator light changes to blue when a drive is mounted, and to pink when the drive is unmounted.

If you have a lot of loose hard drive but don't want to buy an enclosure for each drive, you need this docking station.

This hard drive docking station is terific in a lab environment or anywhere you need to format or image a large volume of drives. It supports both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch drives over USB 3.0 so speed is not an issue. When connecting the smaller 2.5 inch drives a plastic shield pops up to protect the internals from dust, etc. If I had to change one thing about this docking station it would be to have a similar protection shield when no drives are in use but this is only a minor annoyance. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I neglected to back up my hard drive and then my computer died. Did some searching on how to remove the hard drive and how to access the hard drive. Docking Station worked great, and it's fast. Got free shipping, and the price was better than Amazon. Very happy to fix my stupidity.

I think I bought 5 different docking stations before I found one that I could connect multiple USB3 external drives and actually use them. There are a few potential improvements, but they're minor; I'd rather not need an active HDMI adapter, my phone won't sync when connected to the front 20W USBC port, and it's a little too tall to fit in my under desk cable organizer

This Apple Thunderbolt 3 Male to Thunderbolt 2 Female Adapter is needed to connect your older Thunderbolt 2 Mac computer with limited stations to a Thunderbolt docking station.The docking station providing youThunderbolt 3 connections allows you to run your external hard drives or solid state drive at higher write and read speeds of 20 GB ps. Card reeders connected would download high numbers of larger raw photographic files and diminish the time to download or upload your photo or movies In short this adapter can speed up your workflow on the older Thunderbolt 2 Macs without enough stations to connect all of the devices. Great product. Thanks to B&H for keeping the older Macs working at up to 20 Gb ps speeds.

Two prior docking stations failed. So far so good with this one. I love how it connects to my MacAir. It hugs the laptop. The typical docking station would have yet another cord to plug in that would leave the docking station dangling on my desk taking up space. The HDMI works well with both an extra monitor or plugging my TV into it to watch TV thus alleviating the need for another set top box.
