📁 ikuai SATA to USB 3.0 Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock for 2.5" and 3.5" SATA HDD SSD with SD TF Card Reader, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, Offline Clone Function, External Hard Drive Docking Station - UASP Supported Review

Update: I cloned a drive last week, it worked great. This week he insists he's still connected to the system via USB, even though the cable was unplugged before turning it on. I've tried everything I can think of to get out of USB mode as it doesn't clone when connected via USB. I can no longer clone drives with it. ORIGINAL: I got this for our repair shop and used it for data recovery as well as checking the drives to make sure they are ok. I haven't tried cloning the drive yet, but the…

Bad: SD port does not work. I disassembled the device and found that the plastic cover that guides the SD card was broken off. I used epoxy to reattach it but the connector doesn't work properly. The hard drive is shown, but not the content. Strange. It's not that bad, but it's worth knowing: the main purpose of this machine is to copy one disc to another. If you later want to access two different drives through the dock, you can only do so if they are the same drive size. In fact, I'm not even

Bought to use as a data hub/drive "chassis" with a Raspberry Pi file and media server, this thing worked right out of the box. This is probably a good thing considering the amusingly poor English used for packaging and instructions. It currently powers a 3.5" SATA and two legacy Debian Pi-based portable USB drives, even over the network with no noticeable latency. via the Pi's USB ports. Mounting: Debian Linux auto-mounted all three drives with no issues, and the persistent assignment to FSTAB…

With the ubiquity of internet connectivity, it's easy to see why features like CD/DVD drives and front-access drive bays aren't commonplace. They increase costs and are used by significantly fewer people than in previous years. Meanwhile, newer USB versions have greatly increased the speed, making the interface much more useful. However, the ability to create local backups is important, as is the ability to upload files via SD cards from other devices. The Ikuai USB 3.0 Hard Drive Dock offers…

I have had many personal projects to enlarge (or shrink) some PC hard drives, DVRs etc. I've had several of these little adapters that let you connect an IDE, mini-IDE, or SATA drive to a USB cable. 2.5" SATA drives were fine. But whenever you needed to connect a 3.5" IDE or SATA drive, you had to find a wall outlet and a 4-pin molex or 4-pin connector, to get to the SATA power connector. Not to mention the precarious nature of having a hard drive on your desk ready to be thrown away or…

I am NOT getting paid for this review and am referring to the UASP DS02 Sata 3 model, 16TB HD support with TF/SD slots, 2x USB 3 slots and 2 slots 2.5" / 3.5". Ordered 10/2020. DO NOT BUY refurbished or used older models. Get the latest version of BE SAFE! I have several old clone/SATA external drive enclosures that have served me well for years. I needed something to do more, to be much faster, and after careful study, I took the risk. WITHOUT REGRETS! This block does everything I need. YES…
