Review on π₯ Black StarTech.com Hot-Swap Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5"/3.5" SATA III Hard Drives - External eSATA/USB 3.0 Hard Drive Dock with UASP (SDOCKU33EF) by Tim Beckett
Good case if your drives are 6TB or less. NOT suitable for 8TB enterprise drives.
After reading a comment about a user being able to use Seagate 8TB backup drives, I ordered a couple of these drives. While they work great with 6TB or smaller drives, they will NOT work with larger drives. The 8TB Seagate Archive drive is provided, but the read/write speeds are terribly slow. Maybe because of the SMR technology. Worse still, they don't mount 8TB Enterprise Seagate drives. Doesn't show up on Mac desktop, be it OS X 11 or 12. Tried different Macs but didn't help. Then I tried another manufacturer's 3.5" 10TB enclosure just to make sure my drive was fine. Mounted without any problems. I ended up sending her back to Revain.
- Connect drives to this dock for data recovery applications at a data recovery center or computer shop
