Multiport Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock

I'm NOT getting paid for this review and am referring to the model UASP DS02 Sata 3, 16TB HD support with TF/SD slots, 2x USB 3 slots and 2x 2.5inch/3.5 inch slots. Ordered on 10/2020. DO NOT BUY refurbished or used older models. Get the latest new version to BE on the SAFE side! I have several older clone/sata external drive enclosures that have served me well for years. I needed something to do more, be muich faster and after thorough research, I took a chance on this one. NO REGRETS!!! This unit does everything I need to do. YES - You can use two hard drives at the same time and they will each have their own drive assigned letter. You can transfer ANY files from the computer to any of the two drives with ease. The 2.5 inch drive slips right into the slot easily and it has a spring loaded cover for the larger 3.5 inch drives. It makes the unit look really nice and helps keep the dust out. The POWER supply is 3 Amps and I'm using it to handle 1 USB 3 memory stick with 2 Sata 3.5 inch drives and a TF card at the same time!!! You can also easily transfer ANY files from the two hard drives to the USB stick and vice versa with one click. However, YOU CAN'T transfer a file to the TF\SD card unless you take out the USB stick. Once the USB stick is removed, you then have full access to the TF\SD card. This puppy is very fast, however, a few times a file seems to transfer slow. Hard drive to hard drive all files are super fast, but on very few rare occasions a hard drive to USB 3 transfer seems to slow down. I copy most movies which are 2 GB a piece and its super fast, just know that making multiple copies onto ANY USB drive will be severely slow down big time due to its design. Any multiple copies on a USB stick whatever the version will all come to a crawl. If you simply copy one file at a time, it will be like warp speed. I am using this to backup my movies and games onto a 4TB 3.5 inch drive and to USB 3 memory stick and again, its lightning fast. The TF/SD card slots are just a bonus and like icing on the cake makes this an ultimate unit. The power supply has 3 amps and more than enough juice to run everything. I have not tested "OLDER" drives that may require more power but in that case, use a heavier amperage power supply. It also comes with a beefy thick USB 3.0 cord that seems to be 3 foot long that attaches to your computer. It comes with a nice manual, small footprint but still readable and very informative with colored diagrams and troubleshooting. 1 Year warranty. I had two 4TB hard drives and a USB stick powered up for many hours and the hard drives are lightly warm. They never get hot and this unit has enough clearance to keep those drives cool. It says that everything is "HOT SWAPPABLE." Thats true and it is but honestly that is a FOOLS way of working with this. BE SMART - DO IT RIGHT - ALWAYS use the dismount the drives FIRST, then shut the unit off with the easy click on/off button on the back TO SAVE PROPERLY and not have ANY chances of corrupting your files or DAMAGINGING

Had this for a while now and tested it with a lot of different drives. I was able to rescue a bunch of old photos from old drives from computers past that I figured we lost. Plugged it into my desktop and it acts like an external drive. Easy to see what's on them. Great product for a great price.

Item was shipped fast and came on time. It worked as it should. Happy with it.

Purchased for use as a data hub/drive "enclosure" with a Raspberry Pi file and media server, this thing worked perfectly right out of the box. That's probably a good thing given the amusingly bad English used for the packaging and instructions. Currently it's powering a 3.5" SATA and two ancient portable USB drives on the Pi's Debian platform, with no noticeable latency even over the network. Connecting the externals to this powered hub has had the added benefit of reducing the power load (therefore heat) running through the Pi's USB ports. Mounting: Debian Linux automounted all three drives with no trouble at all, and permanently assigning them in FSTAB works fine as well, with no read issues or latency. The SATA drive in it was removed from a Windows 10 installation where it was a Mounted Volume attached to a nested subdirectory, and when I plugged it into the dock to test, Windows seamlessly re-mounted it to its previously assigned location. Power management appears to be dependent on the OS so on the Pi there's basically none, and in Windows it can be found in Power Options and Device Manager. I did not test the hot-swap capability or the cloning function, as neither of these are presently needed. It's not technically a drive "enclosure," but it can be used for more or less the same function. Unfortunately, the drive bays are exposed so drive motor noise is un-muffled when in use and when empty, the bays are open to dust etc. getting into the SATA connector slots. If it had a simple vented shell sized to fit over the whole thing with SATA drives in the bays, it would have gotten a full 5 stars. Recommended.

Works as advertised. Reads all my old drives. Super convenient

I wanted to love it. Small size, can connect two 2.5 SSDs or 3.5 HDs, plus a USB hub and SD card reader. Unfortunately, it has disconnected on its own from my Mac Studio M4 Max several times, both when actively transfering files and while idle. It immediately reconnects but I get the message disk not ejected properly and the file transfer fails. Strangely, another separate external SSD on another one of my Mac's ports disconnects too when this occurs, and one time that storage volume got corrupted and had to be reformatted. I don't know what the problem is, but I didn't have any such issues until I connected this product, so I'll have to return and try another product.

I have been using this for years and it still works like new.

No complaints at all. Works as intended and the transfer rate seems good.

funciona muito bem . atendeu as expectativas com equipamentos Mac OS 2024

Drives, once connected, are responsive and stable. The only issue is when you either remove or reseat a drive while a second drive is already seated. It is almost impossible to not nudge the second drive and disconnect it. I plan to buy a second one if I cannot find a reliable 4-or-5 drive bay, at a fair price.

Fast, compact, does what it should. I've had it for years and am completely satisfied. I use it with Linux, btw, so it plays well with that.

Quality was good.
