Review on πŸ’» Alxum USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station – Support 2.5/3.5 Inch HDD/SSD, UASP, 8TB Drives, Offline Clone – Aluminum Design by Joe Bottomkent

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The main function (offline clone) doesn't work

The clone function doesn't work. The instruction is: 1) Put the source disk in A and the target disk in B2) Press the clone button and hold for 3 seconds until 100% progress (blue) lights up 3) Then press the clone button again 1 time. Sounds easy. In the 1st order, pressing step (2) does not cause the 100% progress LED to never light up. Sent it back and ordered another unit. 2nd order, step (2) works with 100% progress (blue) LED on. But if you press the clone button again as instructed, all the progress bars will light up at the same time and stay on. Then. Nothing. Eventually, all blue LEDs will turn off. The source disk (A) and destination disk (B) have the same disk model. Run the manufacturer diagnostics on drive (B) and it will pass with no bad sectors. If you need a docking station with one USB and two HD. then it can. If you want to do disk cloning offline. only get if you think you're luckier than the average bear.

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
