UNIDOCKU33

Works great exactly what I needed

Great dock. This contains one slot for SATA drives and one slot for PATA drives. The PATA slot does not have any connections, as you are expected to use the external cables to connect PATA drives to the dock. This is great for folks with a mix of older drives and newer drives.

I received two in a row where the SATA interface worked but IDE interface did not work. The drives I connected are good and can be installed in a machine and used. I tried every relevant technical thing available to me (different IDE cables, computers, jumpers, OSs, checking power supplies, etc.) to diagnose and resolve the problem but had no luck. I twice tried to contact the company's technical support over a week after receiving the replacement (with full description of the behavior) and they seem to have been ignoring my support requests since I never heard back from them. Today is one week after receiving the replacement and it is also going back.

Works exactly as described. Meets my expectations. I was surprised at the ease of use. The plug and play feature of Windows better known as a plug and pray seemed to install the unit with no hitches. It sees an inserted drive in the same way it would a USB flash drive allowing you to use it for data storage or to perform other functions with the associated drive. Not sure if it would provide a bootable drive option. I suppose that would depend on your boot order in the bios. I have not tried the clone or copy feature yet but so far it seems to work as advertised.

I liked the idea of a dock that can handle IDE drives, since I'm going through old computer drives and media. This one works, but the IDE part is pretty clunky.

It is not a true dual bay dock. It is for IDE OR Sata. You cannot use it for dual sata as it appears by the details. I have no issue with their craftsmanship as I have not used it but have had other products from them and was pleased.

Versatile and functional as described. Worked well for me without issue.

Well, I have been thinking about this type of device for a while, but didn't know one existed. You see, I was an early adopter with home PC's, so needless to say I have a lot of old hard drives around the house. At one point I had my old stuff on a backup drive, but foolishly I striped the drives, so when one crashed I lost that data. Fast forward to this device. Took a few tries to get the drive jumpers arranged so it worked, but once it did, it worked well. Would recommend for anyone (like me) with old hard drives lying around who want access to the data without the hassle of installing into the PC.

Works perfectly.

Prodotto molto buono. Ottima la costruzione. Connessione USB 3.0 molto veloce. Il PC lo ha subito riconosciuto ed installato. Sono molto soddisfatto.

Station d’accueil IDE/SATA : oui, le prix est un peu élevé par rapport aux petites interfaces “chinoiseries”. Même si ça vient probablement de Chine, les contrôles qualité et la fabrication sont clairement au-dessus, et ça se voit. Le pack est très complet, et surtout… ça fonctionne comme prévu. Testé avec des disques SATA 3.5", IDE et 2.5" : pour de la réparation ou des modifications rétro, c’est un outil indispensable. J’ai essayé deux autres modèles auparavant, tous deux partis à la poubelle à cause d’un fonctionnement aléatoire. Ici, rien à redire : 5 étoiles pour la qualité du pack et la fiabilité. Seul point à surveiller : la tenue des disques autres que le SATA, un peu légère. Prudence donc avec les HDD fragiles

Another excellent product from startech. I have tried with this with everything from 20yr old drives, to brand new 20TB enterprise drives and it performs perfectly. The IDE feature is nice to have, buty old IDE drives are seized up, which is something it obviously can’t help with. No issues with power draw or losing connection, which is why I had to buy this in place of a generic 3.5” powered adapter. The only quirk I discovered and I think it was my system, was that my read/write speeds were severely throttled unless I connected directly to a USB A port on a dock, rather than using a usb-a to usb-c adapter directly into the back of my M1 iMac.

Habe damit die Daten von mehreren älteren Festplatten "gerettet" hat gut und zuverlässig funktioniert. Werde auch weiterhin damit arbeiten wenn ich Festplatten aus PCs oder Laptops ausbaue und die darauf vorhandenen Daten nachträglich sichern möchte.
