Works well and performance good using the eSATA connection. Power switch on back of unit makes it easier to turn on/off.

Although I have rated this dock as excellent in the past, I have awarded only one star (the minimum) for its failure to interface correctly to a WD Green 3TB SATA drive.
Amazon does not state that there is a maximum capacity for full utilisation of the disk. A 3TB drive installed in this dock shows up as just over 800GB only, whereas a 2TB drive shows the full 2TB.
Owing to the failure to see a 3TB drive correctly, I checked the technical specifications on the StarTech website only to find that it quotes 'tested to 2TB'. It does not record that it will not work for a 3TB drive.
Searching the Internet I have discovered that the limitation of external enclosures and docks to see a full 3TB is not unusual in early 2012. Only a few designers of such docks have overcome the limitation: apparently Sharkoon Technologies GmbH have a dock that will handle drives up to 3TB. It is called the QuickPort Combo, though Amazon does not yet state the 3TB limit (rather than 2TB) for that unit either.

Feels solidly made. Comes with both USB and eSATA cables. I'm using it to connect bare 3.5" drives for backup purposes, so saving on 'proper' enclosures. Works well. Recommended.

Very satisfied with this product.
One of the best thing that one can do with this device is this : you can use the esata cable to boot directly from a sata hard disk plugged in the device. Read more

This item does exactly what it says on the tin, and despite being USB 2.0 and not 3, it is still very fast. Read more
