Q: 5. I notice this comes with the kit when you buy the Atomos Ninja Blade. Is it only compatible with Atomos solid state drives or is it able to connect with the SanDisk 240gb Ultra ll solid state drive? a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1075746-REG/sandisk_sdssdhii_240g_g25_ultra_ii_240gb_ssd.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1075746-REG/sandisk_sdssdhii_240g_g25_ultra_ii_240gb_ssd.html/a

A: The connector on the docking station is a standard SATA connector so technically it will work with any 2.5 hard drive. However, it will work best if you have the hard drive housing that comes with the Atomos because the hard drive will fit the connector better. Without the housing the hard drive will need to be slightly tilted to connect. The connector on the docking station is a standard SATA connector so

Q: 6. Will this work with the Atom X drives?

A: Yes because the ATOM X drives are custom fit to the Atomos recorders.

Q: 7. How do you know which cable is 2.0 or 3.1?

A: the data cable is usb 3.1and port is blue

Q: 8. Why Not buy a $8.00 usb 3 cable to ssd /hdd aka sata cable I believe its called? Why is this $75? Does it do something that cable doesn't?

A: This is a much cleaner and neater set-up. Less clutter and chance of damaging a loose or stray cable or connector. Less wear and tear on all connectors too. Well worth it.

Q: 9. Transfer rate on this thing seems slow. 500 mb/s SSD drive does not seem like the bottleneck. What is the transfer speed on this thing? Is there something I need to do differently? Seems much slower than transferring footage off of an SD card. Windows says it's transferring just under 50 mb/s ... so slow.

A: Hello Aaron J, for it to be 50 mb/s it has to be your drive which may not have a USB 3.0 interface. our Dock has USB 3.0/2.0 backwards compatible that is why it still works but I'm almost certain it is the SSD/HDD you are using.

Q: 10. Is this USB 3.1 Gen 2 or Gen 1?

A: USB-C 3.1, gen 1

This product is very simple to use. If you have a PC die but still need to retrieve data from the SATA drives then just plug them in to this device and your all set. What makes this even better is that it does not matter if it is a 2.5" or a 3.5" drive. 5

I use these all the time and this one works very well. Plug and play worked well and usb 3.1 speed is great. 5

Barbiesmile	16/06/2024
No dropped or drive not recognized. Anyone used it with a hard drive over 6tb? 5

Not much to say other than, "It works." The rotating cover that slides down with a 3.5" drive on the dock tends to buzz as the drive vibrates in use. A dab of silicone on the edge of that cover took care of that. eSATA performance was as expected. USB 3.1 seems like overkill on a device like this since it exceeds the drive speed anyway, so provided that didn't increase the price... :) The transfers over USB are fast. If the computer and the receiving/sending drive(s) can match, then this dock will give you max speed possible with the drives in question. It just works: tested with Macbook, Windows and Linux using USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and eSATA. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review. 5

Another great dock from Startech. This unit allows you to mount 2.5 or 3.5 SSD or Hard drives easily. I found the connection to be solid with the drive connection and there did not appear to be any play to cause issue with connection. I found the cables supplied to be of a good quality and no issues at all could be found. I think this is a good solid build dock and should last for many years to come. No installation issues as I tested this with both my Mac and PC. This is a simple but well built dock. The transfer speeds were what you could expect from an external dock.

We gave this to our help desk and they absolutely love it. They're using it to backup hard drives before re-imaging a computer. USB 3.1 is a plus as it's much faster than our older tool which was only USB 2.0. It came with a variety of cables so you can hook it up however fits your needs best. We're using the USB-C connection which transfers very fast. The whole product feels quality built. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review. 5

I am the computer guru in my extended family so I am constantly fixing issues with their computers. This dock makes it easy for me to backup the data before I do any work on it. It also allows me to scan it for issues and viruses as well. The dock feels solid and the cables that come with it are of good quality. It comes with three cables. Two for USB (USB to normal USB and USB to USB-C) and one e SATA cable. It also comes with multiple power plugs for different countries. Overall a solid product.
