Review on OWC Drive Dock USB-C Dual Drive Bay: Enhanced Storage Solution for Mac and PC (OWCTCDRVDCK) by James Lozoya

After looking at two cheaper $30 docks I settled on this one and now I'm wondering why I didn't get it sooner. The build quality is fantastic. It just seems professional. It's also well thought out. Cheaper devices have an on/off button. It has a main switch and two additional on/off buttons for the compartments. This means you don't have to turn off both drives to remove one. For some reason, OWC is the only brand capable of embedding a power adapter into a docking station. I've always been annoyed by the power adapters and DC connections on cheaper devices. It just seems obvious given how hollow they are. A simple two-prong power cord makes it easy to manage the cord and connect to an extension cord. Speaking of which, the included power cord is comically short. Like three feet. In any event, I required 10 feet of cable for my setup, so the fact that it could easily be replaced with another standard two-wire cable is a huge plus. This drive bay doesn't have a built-in cloning feature, but I actually prefer it. I would never blindly trust cheaper hard drive cloning devices. I'd rather use software that actually tells me what it's going to do. I've always been nervous when I accidentally hit the clone and wipe data button. I don't have to worry about OWC. In general, completely satisfied!
