It just doesn't work

It lights up but drives attached to it won't mount. I tested the same U.2 drives and cables with a different large container and they all worked fine. So I can confirm that the problem was in this dock. Pretty unfortunate as I was really hoping this would work. I returned it for a refund.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Not the best

Expect more for $150

It gets the job done. But it can possibly damage your SSD. ssd hangs after installation. For $150 there should be a case or sleeve to hold the SSD securely in place.

Pros
  • USB 3.2 Gen 1 support - up to 5Gbps transfer speed
Cons
  • No

Retrieve files from laptop

My Dell laptop died like expected. I was able to remove the hard drive and read all files using the ICY Dock on my new laptop. I moved the files but still use the old ICY docking disk as a backup. Works perfectly.

Pros
  • Fits 1 M.2 SATA SSD of any length - 30mm (2230), 42mm (2242), 60mm (2260) and 80mm (2280)
Cons
  • unreliable

Don't trust the results

The case is very pretty and very easy to use, but it has a few serious flaws. , it keeps telling me that the drive I connected has bad sectors. I ran a scan to see if the hard drive was ok and it said it had 11 bad sectors. I then took the same drive and installed it in the laptop, ran the same sanity check and it came back with 0 bad sectors. I ran the same sanity check on 3 M.2 drives and they all came back with bad sectors using this device. When I installed these 3 identical M.2 drives in…

Pros
  • Patented adjustable M.2 latch for tool-less, screw-less drive insertion
Cons
  • Not sure
