💻 Syba SY-ENC50091 USB 3.0 Dual Bay SATA Hard Drive Docking Station with On/Off Button Review

recognizes it etc.). I've only used one of the two ordered so far, and I've only used one of the two bays, and I've had no need for the disk-to-disk cloning feature (I'll probably never use it). It's not as sturdy (heavy at the base) as the old Thermaltake toasters I've used. So if you only have one disc (3.5") in it, it may become unbalanced and tip forward if you're not careful (almost knocked over by moving it to a different spot on the table) The chutes themselves aren't as durable as my TT

When I first used it, it was amazing. Worked great. About a year. Since then I've lost half a dozen discs to this thing. It seems to have very poor power management as I can't run more than one drive at a time, it never mounts some drives and it takes forever to mount the rest. There MUST be better options than this. Some of my drives now won't mount at all. Maybe it's because the hard drive shouldn't be replaced? Possibly, but I'm careful with my media - I always wait until the heads are…

Used to check sectors on multiple drives without problems. The overview changes when problems arise, but for now looks good.

Really nice. Works if you just mount both disks separately and don't want to duplicate or raid them. I wish it was a little more durable but for the price what else can you expect. I currently have a couple of WD Green drives that run very cool and quiet, but I briefly had an HGST server drive and it was very hot and noisy due to the lack of an enclosure. Not SYBA's fault, but something to keep in mind.
