Review on Cinolink Hard Drive Dock: USB 3.0 to SATA 2.5/3.5 Inch Docking Station with 3.3ft Cable - Supports 8TB HDD/SSD by Rebecca Perry

Works great and fast when plugged into a USB 3 port I use it to boot Linux Mint on my wife's Windows 10 laptop. At first I couldn't get it to boot. I found out that the laptop sees this as a USB drive (not a SATA drive) and I want the first partition to be in FAT32 format. No problem. I just made a small FAT32 partition for bootloader/bootloader and then formatted the rest of the drive for Linux (I chose ext2 for read/write limitation) and now it boots every time. I threw away some old SATA drives and they're a lot cheaper than a good USB 3 drive.
