Works well but has flaws

Device works as advertised, at least when used as a basic docking station. I haven't tried using it for disk cloning yet so can't comment on that. However, one major downside I've found is that it doesn't work with hard drive diagnostic software, particularly Seagate's SeaTools. One of the reasons I got the dock was so I could test (potentially) faulty drives. Unfortunately, when SeaTools starts it first tries to scan all connected drives, which results in the connected drive being disconnected or removed from the list of drives. Even if the hard drive in the dock was previously working fine, as soon as SeaTools tries to scan it, it disappears, meaning it's impossible to run any kind of diagnostics.
