Review: Great little unit for multiple SATA drives to USB 3. - Great little unit. Hold four SATA drives and ports through one USB 3.0 port. Works flawlessly. Well built, nice magnetic top. The cooling fan is helpful, and you can switch it on/off independently. I read complaints about fan noise -- I don't think its too bad at all. Just a slight white noise, almost like one of those white noise sleeping machines. About 55db. Makes me feel like a nap. Have dropped 5 different SATA HDs in there of different ages and sizes, current to 10+ years old, 240GB to 1 TB, all recognized and working flawlessly. Sometime a little tricky getting odd-thickness (too thick or thin) drives to seat, just be cognizant. Great value too. Clone drives, or group them to increase storage size. I'm storing old movie clips on them.
Review: Good Dock as advertised. - Works perfectly and supports SMART software if you have it to check on drive health. Speed is good for an external dock. Comes with USB-C to A as well as USB-C to C cables. No complaints.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be configured as a raid array?**
A: This works well with Windows10 Storage Spaces as mentioned in an early answer.   Most of the other answers are incomplete or non-answers.  Time has passed...   I'll post my review soon, but this device works very well and you'll gets up to about 400MB/s in and out of the unit (depending on the choice of RAID/protection level in Storage  Spaces).  Using a better(?) volume/pool manager, you may get even more performance.  If it were a 10gbps Gen 2 chipset, I'd buy 10 of them.  At startup, your first impression may be that it looks like and sounds like a small humidifier or air freshener.  :)   If they would release a version with auto fan speed control, then they'd hit a home run with this.

**Q: Hello community! 
What is the maximum height (or thickness) of the hard drive that the slot can take in?**
A: The slots are 13 mm wide, But I widened the slots to 15 mm & used a 4 TB 2.5 inch drive, 15 mm thick. This works after making slots wider. BUT this voids the warranty. I bought unit, used for months, then adapted it to fit.

**Q: Can anyone verify the max depth drives that fit? some of the 3tb-4tb 2.5" drives are over the typical 7-9mm but can reach 15mm thick. will these fit?**
A: Measuring the slots on mine indicates it should fit up to a 12.5mm drive. It will not fit 15mm thick drives.

**Q: What is the maximum capacity HDD can you use?**
A: I have four  Samsung 870QVO drives installed - two 2TB and two 4TB. The unit works flawlessly in this configuration. I do concur with previous poster - you must directly connect this unit to the PC - do not use a USB hub in between the PC and the unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tested and verified - 20TB drives are supported by the 2-bay, USB-C model (model EC-CH2B)
*by R***D on April 20, 2022*

Tested and verified: 20TB drives are supported by the 2-bay, USB-C model (model EC-CH2B) of this Sabrent SATA hard drive docking station. I have been using it for two weeks with two Seagate Exos X20 20TB SATA hard drives, using the full capacity of the hard drive all the way to the top, and this docking station works flawlessly without a hiccup. I am running it on a Windows 11 laptop. I fully formatted the two 20TB drives using a full (very slow and complete) Windows NTFS format, not a quick format, just to make sure that the docking station can access the full capacity of the drive, and it formats successfully. Then, I completely filled the drive with data, all the way to the end, and read all the data back again, and it all verifies and works perfectly. I am posting this info in this review because the specs for this say that it supports up to 16TB, but doesn't mention 20TB. That's just because the manufacturer has only tested it on drives up to 16TB (I'm pretty sure that 20TB drives were not yet available when the manufacturer wrote up the specs). Conceptually, since this docking station has enough hardware addressing lines for 16TB drives, it will also work with 20TB drives (and higher capacities), but now I've actually verified this for myself. I really like this little SATA docking station. It's compact, so I can pack it up with me when I travel. It's quite inexpensive, which is a nice bonus. It doesn't need a user manual - like other SATA docking stations, you just plug it into a USB-C port on your computer, and it just works. It gives you two (potentially very large) hard drives connected to your laptop or desktop computer, to use for backups, or to store large external data files. Super easy and reliable. The one feature I wish this docking station had was 10Gbps data transfer speed, per the USB 3.x Gen 2 standard. Alas, this docking station only supports the slower and slightly older 5Gbps speed, which is USB 3.0 Gen 1. Truthfully, this is not a big deal, because the SATA III standard for hard drives only supports 6Gbps anyway, so the 10Gbps is overkill, and the 5Gbps speed of this docking station is almost as fast as the 6Gbps maximum speed of SATA III. But still, faster is better. There is another dual-bay SATA docking station here on Amazon that supports 10Gbps - it is the StarTech Dual-Bay SATA Docking Station (10Gbps) . However, I discovered that for some reason that StarTech dual-bay docking station is not compatible with the USB-C shipset in my Clevo laptop. So, I got this Sabrent dual-bay docking station instead, and it works great.
