Comments about Aleratec 1:1 HDD Copy Dock USB 3.0 Hard Disk Drive Duplicator:
It works great as a docking station. However, if you try to clone a drive, you must release the duplicate button as soon as the unit STARTS to beep. I released the button after the long beep, and it did not clone. I am happy to say that it did clone my drive perfectly, once I got the timing down.
