Review on High-Speed USB 3.1 Gen2 Dual-Bay NVME Docking Station: Supports M2 SSD Key M, Offline Clone, and Auto Sleep Function with Tool-Free Installation by Kuldip Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good choice when you need to clone M.2 NVME and need long-term portability and flexibility.

I am an aerospace engineer: Robust device with machined aluminum housing. The cap is easy to put on and take off and has a good fit. I suspect this is partly due to the machining with the exceptional fit and finish. The ability to do offline cloning and use it as portable external storage is a nice feature. Very fast work, which equals heat. However, the solid aluminum body is able to dissipate them safely. As the price of M.2 NVME storage continues to drop, I suspect I'll get more value from it over time; more than just a one-time cloning process. Its compact size allows for portability but requires an external power supply from the supplier. Since power supplies are among the most common failures, their appearance is a feature. This is a readily available 12V 3A unit that should be available in a few years if the need arises. Another feature to improve portability is the rubber mounting system, which protects the drives from bumps when on the move or when dropped (although I did NOT want to do a drop test). The documentation is minimal, but it doesn't require much either as everything is relatively simple. A good choice when you need to clone M.2 NVME and need long term portability, flexibility and expected reliability.
