With the Age Garbage

This review is written after 10 months of ownership. Initially this dock worked great, it was fast and you could clone drives. 3 to 4 months of use/ownership - read/write speeds dropped drastically. After the first cloning of an encrypted hard drive, the cloning function stopped working properly. Programs like CrystalDiskInfo/CrystalDiskMark cannot perform a SMART test or retrieve detailed information on any drive in the dock. Now the docking station or not at all came into the hard disk installation. €89 is way too much money for what you get. I also bought two cheap single drive docks from Inateck and Anker at the same time - both docks still work, have no issues, and have faster read/write speeds. This dock was a waste of money. Very disappointing, bought StarTech in the past and this was my first disappointment from them.
