## Description

Review: Absolute lifesaver so glad I bought it. - I was so glad I'd backed up hundreds of totally irreplaceable photos when my old pc packed up. I could just connect the external hard drive they were backed up on to my new computer. What I then DIDN'T think to do (muppetry of the highest order) was back them up again! Subsequently the Iomega external drive they were on failed. My wife & I were devastated - photos of our grandchildren's earliest years, weddings, holidays, Christmases just gone. So much so that we contemplated sending the broken drive to one of those data recovery companies - although we know the cost is often enormous. I read up on the problem & wondered if the drive really was done for or maybe it was the power supply to it. An electrical tester showed the supply cable was fine. I'd discovered that the sealed (they are sealed - no screws - no easy way to open them) cabinet would just contain an interface & a standard SATA 3.5" hard drive. I thought maybe if I could get it out of the cabinet without damaging it, I could fit it in my pc but was told you can't. I didn't know about docks like this. As a last resort before shelling out hundreds of pounds for professional help, I bought this dock. After very carefully breaking open the cabinet on my "broken" hard drive I detached it from the interface card & (praying) slotted it into this dock. The dock powered up the drive immediately & within minutes had rescued all those precious memories. A wonderful simple device it connected to my Windows 11 pc faultlessly just as it purports to do. The best £28 I've ever spent. The drive itself is solid & well made of decent materials. Furthermore, not only has it got me out of an awful situation, it was obviously only the interface that had failed so the dock has given the 1TB Samsung drive a new lease of life for just £27.99. Suffice it to say I have created multiple back ups of my important things now! Whatever you need this quality product for, I'm sure it's simplicity of use & great results will impress you.
Review: Great Product - The Sabrent dual HDD docking station does exactly what it promises—easy plug-and-play for both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives, with USB 3.0 speeds that feel snappy for backups and cloning. Build quality is solid, drives slide in securely, and hot-swap works without fuss. The offline clone feature is a nice bonus if you need a quick disk copy without a PC. Great tool for anyone managing spare drives or recovering old data.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this be able to read data already stored on the hdd? or will it just ask to re-format the hdd when i connect?**
A: Yes you will be able to read the data already stored on the drive, unless it is corrupted in some way.

**Q: I have inserted a new 3tb seagate sata drive and connected the power. when i connect usb the blue light flashes, but doesn't show on pc.**
A: I had exactly this with a WD Purple 3 Tb drive. You have to go to Sabrent's website and download a Firmware update. Then carefully follow the instructions for the exe file. Once I did that and rebooted I could see the drive, and then partitioned it into separate 1Tb and 2Tb sectors. Everything seems to work as it should.

**Q: Hi can I put an 8tb 3.5 hard drive in this hard station and use it with my Xbox one s**
A: Yes, you can. It supports hard drives up to 10 TB per slot.

**Q: Does this have Sleepmode**
A: Not that I'm aware of.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spare drives
*by D***X on 9 July 2025*

No issues with delivery as arrived in good condition and on time. On opening the box the item looked good, but the lid felt plastic when using and this I felt should of been metal or hard plastic. The item worked well when drives were inserted and used, with the speed being good, however the smaller drives were a bit tricky to release from holder but this could be down to my large fingers. I would still recommend this drives as made life easier swopping my drives except took a bit longer with small ones. Other than that this is an excellent product and well worth getting if you have extra drives you need files from but don't need sitting in your computer and as you do not need to use screws, just open lid insert drive into it then plug into a Usb port on you computer which makes it easy to setup, install and use. Recommended.
