💾 SSK Aluminum HDD Docking Station, USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External Hard Drive Dock, Caddy Reader for 2.5 & 3.5 inch SATA HDD SSD, UASP Offline Cloner/Duplicator Function (2x16TB Supported) Review

Ironwolf 4TB installed in one of the slots, created 2 partitions. It worked flawlessly for several weeks, remaining connected to the network the whole time. But then one of the sections suddenly stopped working. Windows identifies it as a raw partition. Luckily, I was able to fully recover the files using active recovery software. So ok maybe it was an accident, maybe I should have been more careful about touching it even a little bit while it's on, maybe I shouldn't have had it on and…

I'm migrating data from a 3TB Seagate drive to a 6TB Western Digital drive (red) and have seen several reviews of the device that the destination drive is partitioned according to the size of the source. It's true, but don't worry. It is easy to reconfigure it in Windows 10 using Computer Management and then access Disk Management sub-feature. Youtube search doesn't hurt either. After I opened up the remaining unused space, everything looked as expected and worked great. It's even faster than…

So the device appears to be of high quality. I've wanted and needed one of these for a long time.

Basically, if I want to mirror a drive, which bay is for the target and which is for the mirror? I also had a hard time seeing the drive letter of the two bays. It looks like the letter has changed depending on which…

Revain has several devices with the same functionality from different manufacturers. I've made at least one of almost every device. Of all the devices currently available at the time of writing this review, this one has the best build quality for the price. I have both one piece and two piece blocks. This device and several similar dual-bay devices enable offline hard drive cloning. I clone a lot of hard drives at work, but I've never tried it without a computer and software. Most of the time…

I was looking for a decent external hard drive bay as I work in IT and sometimes need to connect a non booting drive to extract files from it. I have recently purchased other SSK products and the customer service is fantastic. Their products are exclusively designed/built. Super easy to use. Plug in the power, plug in the USB (unless you're trying to clone one drive to another) and turn it on. PC reads discs without hesitation. The LEDs on the front are very easy to understand. When switched…
