IDE SATA USB 3.0 Docking Station review and demonstration

[@sashomedia]

I've been looking for an review recently. Your video has covered a lot stuff. Thank you!

[@photomaster1]

Thank you for taking the time for this, I just picked up a hard drive Docking station, not this one thank god.. but very interesting issues...

[@bertierussell5901]

You are an absolute SAVIOUR!!! It now works! Thank you!

[@alecjahn]

I was worried about that Molex connector but nope - they thought about that, the sliding function is a cool trick!

[@tenshi7angel]

This is a really cool idea. I might actually buy one just for backup purposes. This is really neat.

[@AlexMerlin1985]

I didn't notice the little slider at the bottom of the device until I saw your video - thanks a lot!

[@Spajo84]

What is that slider for?

[@georgez8859]

Thanks for the Video Phil, Looks like a good unit.I have a similar one from Inateck but it only does SATA Drives

[@philscomputerlab]

I tested both, the portable Adapter and this dock, and I'm using the dock now permanently. I can do more videos using "period correct" IDE drives now :D

I appreciate you showed the part that broke off, I was gonna buy it but I think there's better options similat to this one.

[@markrigoglioso]

Thank you for the informative video....better than instructions.

[@whiskeyjuliet]

App was running in the system tray....

[@MrAzztech]

I had the usb 2.0 model and the back stands broke off over time, you have to be very careful with them, its a very useful unit only ever had problems with some ide drives but maybe it needed a higher amperage power supply to power them, but i intent on buying the usb 3.0 model at some point. note my unit come with a fused plug iec cable for the psu.

[@timcollins9800]

I have the USB 2 that you had.All that happened was it showed in the drives .cliecked on it Windows said install a drive in E,Disk management said *NO MEDIA IN THE DRIBER*MASS STORERAGE/.I would have sent it back but i got it cheap on F.M.P in was unused.What higher amperage would you recommend Or would it be a bad move to get a higher oneI have loads of power suppleys.

[@fredshead7114]

Yes as far as i can tell, you put 2 drives in it the front one is the sourse drive and the rear one is the target drive, then you press the red button twice, i have never tried it either lol Fred.

[@brendamudrack1641]

What if you recently had to do a complete restore on your computer desk top and you can't get the computer to even read this docking station to do what it did when you hooked yours up to your laptop? My docking station did not come with one of those drive CD.

[@melihcanberkdin2529]

hey. I got this product recently. I planned to use it for my IDE hard disk. I haven't use it like for long time and I plugged it in and blue light started to blink and device makes click sound. I plugged much more new SATA disk (my old laptop hard disk) it works like your video. So my question is that my IDE just died or I could not plugged it in properly?

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

This thing is amazing! It saved my marriage! I no longer fight with my wife on whether to use IDE or SATA!

[@philscomputerlab]

😅

[@ppheanix]

According to recent marketing doc on eBay, this will not work with WD HDD. Could you please run tests on WD HDD ?

[@StevePhillips]

I bought one of these came here to learn tips on using it. I have some old computers I want to take my data from before getting shot of them all. Only my Dell computer still works.

[@Rouxenator]

Perhaps an 3.5" SATA HDD will draw enough current to trigger the activity LED of the SATA bay?

[@philscomputerlab]

Interesting. I haven't tried a SATA drive, so I quickly did, and voila, the LED works. Very odd, but seems you were onto something.

[@Rouxenator]

You're welcome. With IDE it is easy to determine if there is activity, just look at PIN 39. However on SATA it is not that simple so most of these external controllers just flash the LED based on power drawn by the SATA drive. Needless to say SSD is very power efficient.

[@philscomputerlab]

That explains it then :) Awesome.

[@ChingerBurger]

Awesome observation mate didn't even think of that myself

[@bigtom6746]

Paul Roux I was wondering if you were able to clone a 3.5 inch HDD in a laptop to the 2.5 SATA SSD that you place in the docking station? Any help on this or advice would be great...

[@red2965]

So I got the 875 and somehow I missed getting the disc of drivers. Any way to get a copy of it?

[@Red-wl3hc]

mine didnt come with a disk either

[@jonathannorth908]

No disk for me either!

[@meh78336]

Lol was going to say that this is identical to my LOGIN all in 1 dock but mine has to rear supports and is grey instead of red, then I saw your back one had broken off. For me, only the central support is needed as when I have slim 3.5 sata drives, I put a bit of sponge in-between it and the drive to stop it wobbling. Mine is finicky takes a couple of attempts to work sometimes, sometimes the lights don't work but the connection is fine. infact its a plus when the lights don't work as it can be a bit on the bright side.

[@jojosmooth]

Shouldn't you wait until the HDDs stop spinning after ejecting them from Windows? Switching the power off may potentially damage the disks if the header is still not in parking position, I guess?

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes you should!

[@andreabeltran4313]

And why would you switch the power off when you still using the hdd? Just be sure that the HDD docked in it is no longer in use before turning it off.

[@jojosmooth]

@@andreabeltran4313 not sure what you mean. Of course I would not switch off the power while they hdd is still in use. What I meant is, after ejecting hdd one should wait for the header to be parked and the discs to stop spinning before switching off the power. I have stopped using these docking stations because most OSes I use (Windows 10, Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS) do not manage them well, as in... The discs keep spinning even after ejecting the devices from the system

[@Sol-Cutta]

All I know is I have broken laptops and broken ext HDD and want my films and TV shows retrieved and put onto my new hardrive which has tb and masses room to take all my old HDDs contents...will this do that??

Thanks for a very good demo and explanation Phil. This device worked well with my SATA drives but not with my IDE drives. Can anyone suggest why ? Someone told me that it's because I only USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0 on my PC. Why should that make any difference ? After all, it worked well with my SATA drives. Why should IDE be any different ? All I get when I insert a 2 1/2 inch IDE drive is a recognition sound from my PC but nothing more : no window opening showing the contents of the drive.

[@philscomputerlab]

IDE HDDs have jumpers, so I would check those. Make sure the HDD is set as Master.

What is the red button on top for ? why does the box state it clones disks without a PC ?

[@mikkelnielsen888]

the button actually does starting of cloning of disks standalone, but only from ata to sata.

[@abeirokid]

@@philscomputerlab Mine isn't even detected in Disk Management. 😕

[@50MGG]

The power connector is C14 :)

[@philscomputerlab]

I knew that! :D

[@tcam333]

The product page indicates that it isn't compatible with WD drives. That may be an issue for some people.

[@philscomputerlab]

tcam333 Interesting, I will test that.

[@philscomputerlab]

I had a look, I only have WD SATA drives, not IDE, so I couldn't check what the issue could be.

[@MarkTheMorose]

I think it's because the drive jumper block is wider on WD drives, so the power connector is further along. However the sliding mechanism ought to solve that. Perhaps there has been an updated version that's not reflected on the site.

[@faustsmith]

Can this dock use two IDE drives at same time when cloning? One IDE hard-drive being the source and the other IDE hard-drive being the target. What is OTB and what is OTC as stated on this item's box? What is the model number of this dock?

[@davidbolha]

No it can't. 😑

[@robb3210]

Hi Phil I am having a problem getting my device to anything. received all the wiring power supply and connected it as you instructed and nothing. I noticed that you got a disc with yours which I did not get nor did I get the little booklet. aside from that everything seemed in order. The question is do I need a driver in my PC to run this thing or is there some trick that I am just not awake up to?

[@WaybackTECH]

These work great for backing up, virus scanning and cloning customer hard drives. I find it more way more convenient than the usb bricks.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes it's more stable that's for sure. Took a few images with it so far and worked great.

[@nelsonpares4173]

HOW does the one button works? witch hard drive does it back up to?

[@mikkelnielsen888]

exactly, the boxes states this feature, but manual is a windows software .

[@szaboroland51]

This thing just arrived yersterday. I had and still have a hard-time with docking an IDE HDD. First, the IDE drives didn't fit at first. I had to broke the 2 useless 'alignment notches' from the side if the IDE connector. After I managed to fit them, I tried with 2 different IDE drives: Maxtor 40 GB and Samsung 250 GB, but none of them worked. They spin up like normal, but no response in the Explorer. I wonder if they not supported, or it's a connection issue, or the dock station just flat-out doesn't work. And there is no firmware updates or any drivers to this thing on the interwebz. I tried the SATA docking with a Samsung 200 GB drive and it worked just fine.

[@szaboroland51]

Okay, I was little bit light-headed with the jumper settings and haven't tried every combination. Both IDE HDDs working fine with SLAVE setting. We happy.

[@robbywijayanto9019]

Are its still work in usb 2.0??? My laptop didnt have usb 3.0 slot

Dreadfully difficult to line up the power 'slider' which is meant to enable easy insertion of the HD cartridge. Have spent ages fiddling about. Is there a better solution to insertion of the HD ?? After 2 hours have not got this to work !! No CD in the box

[@kevinroach9380]

Same issue here! Then you have these guys doing these simple videos or reviews that don't show anything.

That UK mains plug is non-standard. Never seen once like that - it doesn't look like it has room for the removable fuse.

[@sueday9292]

i didnt get a disk with mine... still trying to work it out

[@philscomputerlab]

That's annoying, but the software isn't that great anyway. You can just copy files yourself or use backup software.

[@andrewspence3171]

Dear Phil, I thought this would show me how to use the docking station, The speed it works and having two hard drives at once didn't do that. I have this docking station and Windows 10,, but it only displays some folders, not documents or pictures or videos. Any idea what I should do? Im no expert, so need any answer spelt out in non-computer language. I emailed Tccmebius, they quickly replied but the answer, about using the OTB function made things more confused. Another clue I found on the net was not to use a USB3 port on the laptop, but use a USB2. The docking station instructions say to "operate the hard drive partition" but not how to do that. Lastly, the Manual says "when the product is used in the WIN10 system, the hard drive cannot be read. But it can, although in my case, only partially. As you can see, I am in a complete mess. I have written 3 novels of 300+ pages, almost finished, on the HDD, don't want to lose them! Can you help please? Thank you in advance, and keep safe in this corona virus.

Hey Mate, how about heat protection in Australia? PC-s not needed an extra cooling than in europe?

[@philscomputerlab]

It's colder here. We have air conditioning.

[@kaitlyn__L]

plus either way, even 35ºc would be way colder than 70ºc, so there'd still be heat exchange going on with the heatsinks etc. even if the cpu ends up running at 70 (core temp) rather than 60, that's still way below the max of ~96-104 core temp (assuming intel or amd, no idea about ARM's specs). 30c of thermal headroom on the cores (instead of 40) really is still a lot of headroom. i recently ran cpu validation stress tests for a solid hour with the intel bundled heatsink for kaby lake (though my own thermal paste, because i had taken it off a few times before) and it only peaked at 75 on core (so 25 headroom), with no throttling in cpu-z. and it idles at like 40. my room is usually 20-25, so with naive maths, that'd be 80-85 under extreme load (or, 20-15 of headroom) and usually more like 70 under real world loads like games, if the room were even as hot as 35. and, like phil said, there's air conditioning anyway. but my point is that the computer probably would still be fine even if it were out in ~30c air (dunno about some of the more extreme stuff that's happened with heat waves lately though :p) so long as there was adequate airflow (so, not clogged with dust). heck i've been in spanish houses in the summer with no air conditioning with computers chugging along happily on air-cooling only, without throttling. so yeah sorry for the long comment >.> i find this topic interesting and also worry about the level of misinfo out there (which i know phil doesn't spread, but like, people saying using the heatsink intel bundles will kill your cpu after a few years, kind of thing..)

[@MilitarySeeman]

And if no air conditioning? :D

[@kaitlyn__L]

Gee whiz ! the whole point of this device is to clone drives. The sweet thing is it doesn't have to be connected to a computer. Simply put two drives in the unit, the "master" and a blank drive to clone it to. You have to push the red button twice to start cloning process. This is the best way to back-up/make-copy of an original drive. Like I said to clone you do not need a computer ! ! ! Press button twice ! ! ! I bought a sata-to-sata version (model# 876c) as that is what I do most often.

I bought one like this but I got fucked, it was USB 2.0 and have an esata port which is not usable since most of the computers nowadays doesn't have an esata port except thinkpad . I tried to buy and a cable adapter eSATA - USB3 but cost more than this dock and I found a cheap sata-esat pcie which a I bought and again I got fucked up it was only sata extension and not sata to eSata. be aware of this product not recommended at all since there is plenty docking stations on the market which looks exactly the same but the plugs are not !

You didn’t demonstrate squat, you give up at the end, to hard basket, your style of video and delivery was good, as for the the content I didn’t learn anything about what it does? You were what testing the speed of the drives? With a separate program? Why? You had a broken, don’t know if it works correctly, doesn’t look like it, no way in hell would I buy this product or recommend it from watching this video.

Windows 10 cannot detect this dock or even when plugging-in the 3.5 SATA drive that I wanted to access. I guess it is JUST a cloning device and not used like that with external drives. Will ahve to hand it over to a family member. Maybe he can make use of it in another way. Bad purchase.

É uma porcaria. Comprei um e a fonte ficava piscando e não lia o HD nem pendrive. Depois troquei o aparelho, pois estava na garantia, e o outro também não conseguia ler o HD, só lia o pendrive. Parece que a fonte de energia não tem força suficiente. Se você quiser se incomodar então compre esse aparelho. Ce matériel est de la camelote. Truthfully, I think it sucks.
