This thing is really nice. Works with both USB and USB-C connections. Super easy to connect up and nothing to install. Try to with both PC and Mac and work great. Highly recommend getting us if you’re looking for an easy way to recover any data from previous systems.

The other feature i saw that i almost didn't catch at first was the cable.. It has an adapter built in that allows it to be a USB A or USB C. This allows for alot of versatility when you are connecting it to different types of systems (some that have USB c and others that dont).

First off my CDM image I want to address. The speeds there are slow. The Orico isn't to blame. That 1tb drive is notoriously hard to run, as it was the first ever 1tb consumer drive. It had poor power use and slow speeds, this external ran it just fine and at the same speed as internal. Which itself many other external sata adapters can not do.

I highly recommend this product as well as any other product that Orico makes. I have never run across anything that Orico makes that has disappointed me in any way... This brand does not disappoint...

I have tons of enclosures that i use when i need to get a hard drive up and running to pull data off them. This hub is perfect!. I much rather have the ability to just plug the drive in and not having to install/uninstall a drive into an enclosure just to use it. This makes it fast, convenient and simple.

Aside from those two things (feels cheap and weird power adapter setup), it seems to work great. Traditional HDDs aren't super common these days, but this is really nice to have around just to be safe.

I had two 2.5 laptop drives that I had on-hand and needed to wipe before recycling. One of them didn't real (flashing read light and it sounded like it was struggling to spin the disc), but the other read just fine and I was ablet to perform a full format on it.

With this hard drive dock the drive just easily slips into place and is held firm. This dock uses just a power cable and a USB cable, which are easier to tuck away when in use then a SATA cable and unsecured drive. This dock just sits on a desk and is ready to use whenever needed. So far has been used to examine the contents on several drives removed from old computers, and an 8TB disc stays in it to use as a permanent backup drive. It is easy to move around, and very quick to remove the drive from the dock in the event of having to evacuate the office.

In the past I have used a separate SATA cable to connect the drive, and a power cable as well. Problem being when needed can never remember where I put them, and with cable draped everywhere always the risk of pulling one lose.

I'm a big proponent of multiple backups, and bang for the buck, Hard Drive storage is still very economical. Using a Docking Station like this Orico model makes the transfer from working files to archival storage a no-brainer.
