Review on Sabrent 4 Bay Docking Station DS U3B4 by John Martin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolute crap - hard drive accessories

Everything looked fine when I connected the device. Recognized by PC, lights up etc. I added 3 SSDs, 2 were brand new Samsung 870 EVO 1TB, one was the same model but with data on it. Shortly after that, the device signaled with a constant beep to connect/disconnect the device (you know that when you connect USB to PC). Again and again and again. Disk manager showed data drive (G), 2 new drives were shown but listed as unknown and unallocated. Disk manager didn't let me initialize 2 new disks; nothing happened when i tried it. I deleted the one with existing data (G) but still no luck with the two new drives. Placed the drives in an external USB SSD enclosure, initialized and mounted both new 870s with no errors. Put them back into Sabrent and they both still show as uninitialized and unallocated. No time for this BS. Trust previous reviews. Find something else. Maybe some devices will work with YMMV, but this is clearly a quality issue. Stay away, there are many alternatives in the same price range without bad quality.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • For a long time
