Review on πŸ”Œ Sabrent USB 3.1 to SATA Dual Bay Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD. Hard Drive Duplicator/Cloner Function [Includes Type C and Type A Cables, Supports Drives over 10TB] (DS-UTC2) by Oscar Colangelo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for money but below average cloning.

Cloning is not perfect. I'll start with that. I tried 3 times to clone all windows drives but failed once. It either tries to boot and freezes or does nothing at all. It's probably fine for simple file transfers, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else. The rest of the build quality is excellent. It accommodates 2.5" and 3.5" drives very well. I am currently using it in conjunction with OpenMediaVault as a home server on a Dell Optiplex 390 Small Form Factor with a USB 3.0 expansion card. USB 3.0 speeds are great and I saturate my gigabit easily. Ethernet connection when transferring movies and test files (I saw 114MB/s the whole time). it's getting dangerous, but I've never seen it around, and I store my drives in still air at normal room temperature. Overall, I didn't buy this for the cloning feature but for data storage. And for that purpose it works well. I'll probably buy another one in the future to expand my storage options.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
