Too sensitive to static electricity. - My USB3.1 ports failed on the new motherboard

I have 3 other external docks but I need one for a 16TB drive. That's why I bought this. What mistake. Connected to a computer. No problem. Switched on - no problem. Started walking away and heard my speakers making the noise they make when static electricity builds up. I didn't think anything of it. So the hard drive was never registered? So I turned off the dock. I removed the HD from another dock and connected it to this one. And still the HD has not registered with Windows. So I put the HD in the old dock and the drives still didn't register. So I put another HD in the old dock and it registered fine and showed up in Windows. From what I've seen, I understand that the dock is killing my hard drives. So I formatted the OLD drive and put some files on it while in the OLD dock. Then a new one in and nothing! Reconnected to the old one and nothing! Something broke the hard drive as well. After fiddling around I found: The original sock disabled the first hard drive and ALL USB ports on the same internal hub that the dock was plugged into. This destroyed the first HD. There's nothing you can do about it. Others he deleted were simply deleted. I managed to reformat them. I found out later that it also damaged the front of the computer. When I plug in my headphones, all the lights on the computer go out. Unplug your headphones and the light goes down. And the headphones don't work. Bottom line: it blew out a bunch of docking stations and USB ports - erasing all hard drives plugged into them.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Boring package
