Review: Works well, with one minor reservation. - This item was delivered on time and was not packaged in an desertcart box, which was surprising. Nonetheless, the Sabrent package is as sturdy and professional as I have come to expect from the brand. Short version: This docking station worked just as I expected. The 4 HDDs I inserted into it were recognized immediately by the OS (Windows 11 Home) exactly as they were when they were installed in the PC the docking station is now connected to. My only complaint is that the slots that the drives sit in are not suited for slim profile drives. I had to insert a small piece of cardboard into the slot along with the one slim profile HDD (first drive on the right in the photo) to help it stay upright. Other than that, I am satisfied and will continue to use Sabrent equipment for my PC and network needs. Long version: I have been building my own PCs for years with great success. The current iteration uses a Gigabyte motherboard mounted in an Antec gaming tower enclosure with three SATA drives installed in addition to two M.2 drives, one of which hosts the OS. When I decided that I needed more drive space and there were not enough power plugs on the existing power supply to accommodate an additional HDD, I decided that a docking station was the way to go. Since I have been using Sabrent networking accessories for years, it was the logical choice. I currently use a Sabrent USB hub attached to my TP-Link router to share 4 "My Passport" drives on my home network and it works well. When this docking station arrived, I removed the 3 HDDs from the PC, mounted them in the dock along with the fourth drive, and powered the system back up. The drives were recognized in the same configuration as they were when mounted in the PC. I did make sure the drives were mounted in the dock's slots (A, B, C, and D) in the same order as they were connected to the PC's SATA slots (0, 1, 2, and 3). I'm not sure that was necessary, but it seemed reasonable to me. Subsequently, the drive shares show up on the other PCs on the home network just as they were before the installation of the dock. That is exactly what I was expecting. As a bonus, my PC now seems to run cooler without having to contend with powering the HDDs and dealing with the heat they generate, which is now dissipated into the air. Highly recommended. Review: Would buy again. Worked great right out the box! - Would buy again - my initial thoughts. I just finished my first use of this product. I have about 18 old hard drives taken from computers going back 20 years or so. Oh, I also use Linux. That might figure in here. I plugged this into my Zorin computer and saw that the computer did not see the unit but this proved to be operator error. Upon putting a drive into the Sabrent my computer immediately recognized that drive. I tested all 4 bays and each worked great. If you have a stack of old drives and you want to check them out and transfer files between them this is a fantastic unit. So this is a definite would buy! ## Features - 4-Bay SATA Docking Station: Supports up to four 2.5” or 3.5” SATA HDDs and SSDs for data access, backups, and multi-drive management from a single dock. - USB 3.0 Host Connection: Connects to a computer via USB 3.0 for reliable file transfers up to 5Gbps, with backward compatibility for USB 2.0 systems. - Trayless Drive Design: Allows direct insertion of drives without trays or tools, simplifying setup and maintenance when the dock is powered off. - Offline Clone Function: Enables direct drive-to-drive cloning without a computer, with LED indicators displaying clone progress during operation. - Plug and Play Operation: Requires no drivers or software and includes an external power adapter for stable operation with multiple installed drives. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07H11KXCL | | Best Sellers Rank | #2 in Hard Drive Docking Stations | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | Docking Station | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktops, Laptops | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,415 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5000 Megabytes Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819921016225 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.3"L x 4.72"W x 2.76"H | | Item Type Name | Hard disk docking stations | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Material | Plastic | | Memory Storage Capacity | 88 TB | | Mfr Part Number | DS-U3B4 | | Model Number | DS-U3B4 | | Product Dimensions | 6.3"L x 4.72"W x 2.76"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 4 | | UPC | 819921016225 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Hardware Platform:** Mac - **Product Dimensions:** 6.3"L x 4.72"W x 2.76"H ## Images ![SABRENT 4-Bay USB 3.0 Docking Station for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD & SSD, Trayless Design, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Offline Clone Function (DS-U3B4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bidyivDvL.jpg) ![SABRENT 4-Bay USB 3.0 Docking Station for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD & SSD, Trayless Design, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Offline Clone Function (DS-U3B4) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41UVUgHYkEL.jpg) ![SABRENT 4-Bay USB 3.0 Docking Station for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD & SSD, Trayless Design, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Offline Clone Function (DS-U3B4) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aDE9CWYoL.jpg) ![SABRENT 4-Bay USB 3.0 Docking Station for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD & SSD, Trayless Design, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Offline Clone Function (DS-U3B4) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4157zeaCvVL.jpg) ![SABRENT 4-Bay USB 3.0 Docking Station for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD & SSD, Trayless Design, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Offline Clone Function (DS-U3B4) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rozGFxEyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this docking station support offline cloning?** A: Yes.

So this is a definite would buy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value For The Money Fan, Clone & 2 Types of Drives *by P***T on October 25, 2023* Update: 10-25-2023 I formatted my one of the drives in my new Sabrent Docking system and the speed more than doubled with the exact same file I used yesterday. Yesterday I was getting max 50MB/s on a 1.6TB File Today I am getting 164MB/s on the same 1.6TB File Transfer both NTSF. So, great improvement. Excellent Indeed. 10-24-2023 I got this because I have 4 OLD HDD's THAT I still want to use to back things up to. The reasons I picked this were 1. Low Cost 2. Has a Fan so no overheating, 3. Can fit both HDD 3.5 Inch and SDD 2.5 inch Hard Drives 4. It also has a cloning option built in. It was very simple to install. Literally just plug and play. My New PC recognized the Drives Straight Away. They simply act as a large volume flash drive for those wondering. I have a 2 TB, 8 TB, 4 TB and 6 TB My New computer uses the latest technology and was rather spendy so I didn't want to purchase any more hard drives just to fit inside the computer. So, for $88 plus tax it was a good deal. I am copying all of my documents, photos and personal videos about 1.6TB over from one of the HDD to another HDD in the Sabrent Dock and I am getting about 50 MB/s. Rather slow but I didn't format the old drive prior to the copy and I regret that now. I think I would have gotten better speeds had I reformatted prior to the copy. Overall I am very pleased with the Dock and Highly recommend it for anyone so long and you don't have a dog or say children that may accidentally knock it over. The drives themselves won't take much of a jostle but the dock although plastic works very well and as intended.
