Syba CL ENC50060 Docking Station Backup Review

I was a bit hesitant due to mixed reviews. The great price and design made me want to try it. Since heat and friction are the enemies of mechanical devices, I've always done my best to keep my drives cool. All of my previous docking stations were of the "toaster" design, with half the hard drive remaining in the case (heat chamber). The open design helps cool better than any I've had. I also installed a 5v usb fan with velcro to dissipate the heat. The fan is pointing to Source A's slot…

Sata connection issues can be system specific, so I can only report my experience. I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.13.4. This dock shuts down multiple times a day and has crashed my system multiple times, requiring a hard reboot. The same drives in an enclosure with two Burley docks have NEVER been dropped or broken. Of course, our mileage may vary, but I would caution Mac users with a more modern OS.

I have a 6TB 3.5 inch hard drive with various contents that I want to copy to a new 8TB drive.

USB 3.0 transfer speed is great when using this device as a docking station. I would buy this item again.

My Tivo Roamio hard drive has failed and started making noise. I ordered this to make a direct copy to a new WD Purple AV drive. I didn't connect it to my computer. I just used the clone function. It worked great. It copied in less than 2 hours. The existing drive was 500GB and the new drive was 1TB. I haven't expanded the new drive to take advantage of the extra space, but that's a project for another time. He kept all records and settings. Very happy with the performance.

Sold as "IOCrest CL-ENC50060" "Dual HDD Dock" identified as bundled software MAIWO GZX-202, "PC Clone Ex Lite+" will not activate, with dongle supplied, reports error that user does not in nets (I'm online if you're wondering how I posted that). The manufacturer's website does not load, the manufacturer's emails come back because the domain does not exist. Device detects, drivers are loaded. Here the joy ends. Drives attached to it will not be registered or mounted regardless of capacity, model
