Lay Flat NVMe & SATA HDD/SSD Dock, USB-C 10Gbps (DS-UFNC)

The SABRENT USB‑C Docking Station for NVMe M.2 drives has proven to be an extremely reliable and efficient solution for handling high‑capacity storage. Its ability to support a 16TB hard drive makes it especially valuable for users who work with large datasets or need dependable backup options. I use it regularly to back up my main 16TB external drive, and it performs flawlessly every time. The docking station is well‑built, fast, and highly convenient, offering seamless connectivity through USB‑C. Whether transferring files, performing full backups, or managing large storage devices, it maintains stable performance without overheating or slowing down. Overall, this docking station is very useful, powerful, and dependable—an excellent tool for anyone who works with NVMe drives or large‑capacity storage on a regular basis.

I bought this because I had 4 hard drives of various sizes scavenged from older worn out or otherwise non-functioning devices. It was very easy to set up, install the drives and perform most any function on the drives necessary. Oddly enough shortly after buying it my expensive back up drive for my MAC decided to quit. I installed a 2TB drive as my Time Machine backup and it works flawlessly.

I used this to move data from a lot of old disks to my RAID and it performed flawlessly and it's design made it very simple to connect the drives

I installed a Seagate Exos X22 20TB HDD and it worked fine after formatting. The enclosue has a USB-C interface, but shipped with a USB-C to USB-A cable. I connected to the PC with the supplied cable to a USB 3.1 port and it worked fine. I then switched the cable for a USB-C to USB-C cable and it also works fine. The enclusure is rated as USB-3.2 so I use the USB-C cable. One drawback is that there is nothing to stop the drive from sliding away from the SATA and power connections. If you move the enclosure the HDD can lose the connection. If there was a "stop" to prevent movement, I would give this enclosure 5 stars.

After reading the product description, I assumed that this would work as an external HDD. I had a spare NAS HDD, so I bought this product and it worked great at first. But it has a sleep function that puts the drive to sleep if it has not been accessed in some period of time, like an hour. Once that happens, my MacBook Air thinks the drive was unmounted incorrectly and TimeMachine Backups fail. To get it all to work again, I have to turn the SABRENT exclosure off, unplug the USB cable, turn the enclosure back on, plug the cable back in (directly into my MacBook Air). That is a real pain for automatic backups. SABRENT dances around this in their support forum by saying the enclosure is for other purposes. I think this product positioning and description is mis-leading and I do not recommend purchasing this product unless you just want to clone a HDD to a SSD or vice versa. But not as an external storage device.

I built a new computer, and my previous enclosure was USB 2/eSATA, and I wanted to keep using it. After trying PCIe eSATA cards, none of which had their own win11 driver, and also internal sata (hot plug enabled) to eSata riser cables, I finally realized that it was time to move to USB 3.2/C. This enclosure is the way to do just that, while being able to use the 2TB spinning drive from the old enclosure, and wait until prices come down on large nvme/ssd drives. This was the year of doubling storage capacities on my end, and the backups will be no exception eventually, but there is still a little space on the 2TB for now. The enclosure supports all three currently available main drive sizes, so easy to stair step into whatever architecture is needed. I have not cloned with it, but having worked with dozens of enclosures and cradles over the years, this seems like it will offline clone fine. In general, the speeds on this unit, used just as enclosure, are correct and perfect, and probably hit the SATAIII max 6Gbps specs correctly, even more than eSATA did. all the LEDs are on the back which is fine, but it would be nice to have even just a dimmer single HDD activity LED near the front, so if used as an enclosure, one can easily see activity. I saw another user mention it could use a fan, and they may be correct, at least one you can manually engage, as spinning drives do get hot, especially when enclosed. The ventilation is decent, but not much, but i feel like it is quieter than any enclosure i have ever dealt with, so i guess that is the pay off. It comes with a USB-C to USB A cable and the power adapter. Installation of SATA drives is toolless. 3.5" drive took 10 seconds. The price is kind of high for most people, but remember you get an nvme slot, and the unit supports 16TB drives too. Also, i used my previous enclosure for 12 years, and it cost twice as much. I believe I made the right choice with this unit, not only as a way to stair step into the next storage drive for the music recordings, but also as my mainstay enclosure moving forward.

Works very well, speeds are great, everything is tool-less. My only gripes with it is: - Its quite light (usually a benefit) so it has a tendency to slide around if you only have SSDs in it, I imagine a HDD would weight it down a bit better. - The power adapter is a bit bulky, with how little power this can potentially draw (40w on the high end) and how efficiently we can provide it now I don't see why this isn't entirely powered by the single USB-C when the type and gen this supports maxes out at 100w. (Backwards compatibility?) I almost feel like doing it myself, the casing feels fairly empty, I could surely fit the circuitry inside.

Worked, for cloning my 3.5” HD to NVMe. Also, I was able to boot from this USB-C flat docking station using the included USB-C cable. The cloning button worked exactly as described in the user manual.

Blazing Fast

I don't normally write Amazon reviews, but this docking station genuinely impressed me. I bought it to test and prepare a mixture of 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives, as well as M.2 NVMe SSDs, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it without any issues. One thing that was particularly important to me was SMART passthrough. Many cheaper USB adapters don't expose the drive's SMART data properly, making health checks impossible. This dock passes SMART information through correctly, allowing me to read temperatures, power-on hours, health information and run diagnostics without any problems. I've also used it for several hours at a time while performing full disk wipes and verification tests. The NVMe enclosure stayed surprisingly cool thanks to the built-in heatsink, and performance remained consistent throughout.

prima spullen

I'm using Hyperbackup to repurpose some 3.5" SATA HDDs that I removed from Synology NAS and replace them with bigger drives. I'm using the old ones in this Sabrent unit as rotating offsite backups of data from Synology. I've also used this device to access a couple of internal 2.5" drives I had lying around on a Windows machine. So easy. I have not used the cloning features or NVME slot yet. The unit is well built, well packaged and easy to use.

Boitier fonctionne et s'adapte a plusieurs prises de disques. Vitesse rapide. Je recommande.
