Startech Hard Drive Docking Station Manual

[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.

[Plastic] This is another great docking station from Startech.com. Solid build and great ports, including an SD card reader that I really love. This dock worked perfectly for my Windows-based notebook, after installing all the necessary drivers. The issues came up while testing with a Macbook Pro, but I don’t entirely hold the Dock to blame. The issue came from the MacOS version; I upgraded to the very latest version and the chipset isn’t fully supported. Look at the website (support tab) and heed readme files and driver information bulletins, if you are the sort to not jump at the latest updates, you might not have any issues. I fully believe this is a temporary situation and will be solved in short order. This is a solid docking station with a 60 watt power supply, something I think is essential in a one-cable docking solution. Video output is excellent on both HDMI and DP. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

[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.

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

[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.

[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.

[256 GB] The original drive was cloned to the Lexar drive using an Inatek Docking station. The Lexar drive was then put into the computer and it worked correctly.

[1.69 W] PC or laptop will not boot due to faulty hardware? No problem - your data will not be lost. The 2.5/3.5" drive docking station connects to your PC / laptop and loads the hard drive as another drive so you access your coveted data! Connecting by usb or esata the transfer speeds do not disappoint. If there was a way to have the docking station powered over a usb cable without needing the power adapter that would be the only change I would make to this device.
