Excellent dock for the price

 April 6, 2010
By techsavy
This dock is simple and functional. Package contents are not mentioned clearly anywhere. So I am listing them.

Package contents:

1. dock (has on/off switch, activity indicator light)
2. power adapter (110-240 V)
3. Usb cable
4. esata cable

I am happy that it came with esata cable. Also I like the fact that activity indicator light is not very bright.

Plug-and-play easy. Works like a charm.

Simply put it works. Set it down, plugged it into my Win7 x64 machine via provided USB cable, plugged the dock’s power adapter in, dropped in a 750gb sata drive, turned it on, turned on my computer, all good and perfect. Computer recognized the external hd automatically and has been happily letting me do all kinds of work, copying, tests, etc. on it. Not a single glitch or complaint. No esata port to test it on, so can’t speak to that function.

Works as expected

It is simple to use. Works as expected. It has all accessories (eSATA and USB cables). I was doubtful about the capacity it supports before purchase – spec says 1TB or 2TB max. But it works with my 1.5TB HD well.

Nothing fancy, but it works like a champ!

I tried a similar device by a different manufacturer before I purchased this dock — but the other dock broke after about 15 minutes of use. I’d never heard of StarTech before, but this dock just keeps going, and going, and going…

I like keeping an offsite backup of our home computer’s data (for assured survival of home movies, family pictures, etc.), and this dock (along with a couple of bare SATA drives) helps me with that. Plus, this approach is pretty much “future-proof” — when I need more space, I can upgrade the drives and sell off the current ones easily.

good quality, easy and complete

This is a great solution if you have to deal with several HDs and don’t want to buy an enclose for each drive. It also works great if you have to install, backup, swap out or in any way have to configure computers and hardware.

The base is well built, solid and both 3.5 & 2.5 drives fit in without any adapters. This way you can quickly swap out drives, but even if you use it just as one external drive the unit stands pretty solid and safe.

The connectors on the back are from the power supply, a USB and an eSata. It also has a On/Off switch which it handy when you charge drives.

I was positively surprised that it came with both a USB and an eSata cable. I didn’t expect the eSATA cable. The eSata connection is signifcantly faster then USB. USB usually maxes out at a little over 20 mb/sec. With the eSata cable I get twice that speed easily, but depending on the HDs used it can go even much higher.

I’m very happy with this dock, it works great and reliable so far. It works much better and more practical that other solutions or adapters.

Startech Esata/Usb to Sata HDD Dock

This product is excellent. Using it with a 640GB SATA drive. Box came with both USB and eSata cables, power adapter.

Plug it in and it works

I got this dock to start using hard drives as floppy disks on my Win7-64bit computer as apparently 4TB is simply not enough disk space for a HTPC.

Burning files and movies to DVD/BluRay was so time consuming that I never did it and when I did, the probability of problem-free reading of the disk was just not high enough. Not to mention, FINDING that disk later was also a pain.

Hard drives are down to 5 cents per GB (2TB for $99).

Since Win7 has a built in icon for ejecting eSATA drives, it is working well for me.

It works

Plug in the power. Plug in the USB cable. Slide the drive into the top of the unit. Turn it on. Done.
