Best Docking Station For Hard Drives

[1] If you have a lot of loose hard drive but don't want to buy an enclosure for each drive, you need this docking station.

[USB-C Female] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a Plugable USB-C Dual DisplayPort & HDMI Display Docking Station because I upgraded to a laptop with two monitors. This docking station was easy to set up. The quality of it seems to be nice and the docking station looks premium. It seems to be working flawlessly for what I need. I really like that it is light and works nicely with my Chromebook and 2 monitors. The packaging comes with UD-MSTHDC Docking Station, power adapter, USB-C and USB-C cable.

[USB-A Male] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Plugable USB 3 Universal Docking Station for Dual Monitor in Black color features a hybrid 2-in-1 USB 3.0 and USB-C cable, and supports dual HDMI, and comes with 2 Year Warranty, which is amazing. This laptop docking station's compatibility is universal and it is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.x and 7, macOS 10.14 or later, and ChromeOS 100 or later. Plug and play driver installation via Windows Update; manual driver installation on macOS. Dock does not charge host PC. I have already recommended the Plugable USB 3 Universal Docking Station for Dual Monitor to many of my friends and family and several of them have already purchased and used this docking station to manage their dual monitors quite easily and they all love to use this device.

[3.5"] I have had this case for a couple years now. As someone who runs a project studio and it's a media junkie, I was looking for storage abd backup options outside of my NAS unit. So I bought a dual slot HDD docking station that connects to my computer via USB and started buying high capacity internal drives. I wrote the drives in this case, and when I need data off any of the drives, I pull the case out, find the drive I need, and drop it into the docking station. Worship the wise, the case is identical to all the other hard shell cases I have for other studio gear. It's rugged and the foam inside is cut perfectly for the drives. The foam isalso made of anti static material, so you're drives are safe from static electricity shocks. Well worth the price. As my drive count grows, I'll be grabbing another one of these.

[12.385 lb] Previously, without the Sabrent docking station, I had an assortment of external drives, each with separate hard drive enclosures and a mess of USB cables and AC adapter cords. Now, with the Sabrent docking station, I use _one_ USB cable and _one_ AC adapter cable to connect these external drives from the docking station to my computer. The build quality of the Sabrent docking station is excellent: sturdy and well-engineered. I plan to buy another Sabrent docking station very soon.

[Yes] I've gone through 3 other brands of SATA drive docking stations, and with most of them I've had trouble getting drives to mount, where the docking station will give up trying to mount the drive if it can't mount the first time. With the StarTech docking station I am pretty much guaranteed that the drive will mount, as the docking station will keep trying to mount the drive until it succeeds. I also like how the indicator light changes to blue when a drive is mounted, and to pink when the drive is unmounted.

[Black] I have two older internal drives that I needed to reformat. The job was done within minutes from receiving the docking station. Highly recommended.

[0.355 lb] Plug my external drives and mouse into it, then plug it into my laptop. Being on the road, it is almost a docking station for the hotel room. Small and light enough to keep in my laptop back-pack, yet sturdy enough that it will not get crushed in there either. My laptop only has USB 2.0 ports, so I cannot say anything about the speed.

[1.1] I like this docking station for work and home.

[3.5" drive bays] Good quality station. Easy to use for both hard drives and SSDs with the features you need
