Review on StarTech Com ESATA Drive Docking Station Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Anthony Rael

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent Dual Drive HD Dock for Mac Pro with eSATA PCe expansion card

Impressed. Spent the last few days consolidating and archiving terabytes of video projects and deliverables. Even on my quad-core Zeon Mac, this is painfully slow due to limited bandwidth. But this dual docking station has made things a lot easier. I wish I had bought two of these! As for critiques, I wish it worked better when swapping one drive at a time rather than ejecting both when just swapping one of the drives. I also wish it had a hard rocker switch instead of a number button. The button works well (hold for three seconds to turn it off), but I love the positive tactile power button on each device I can turn on. All in all a great product. Recommended by this old geek.
