      Comments about Cables Unlimited USB2.0+eSATA to SATA Hard Drive Dock with 2 Port Hub and Memory Card Reader:

      This is an excellent tool to use for both the tech savy crowd and the modest user. I had several hard drives lying around from old computers and this device allows me to transfer files from one to another easily and quickly. You can also use it with virtually every type of storage card. This product would be a good deal at [$] so at this price it's a GREAT deal!

        bad reviews but seems to work fine

        Comments about Cables Unlimited USB2.0+eSATA to SATA Hard Drive Dock with 2 Port Hub and Memory Card Reader:

        i read a bunch of bad reviews after buying this but it seems to work fine. the trick is to plug in a sata cable and usb cable, this way it can read CF cards and sd cards. i didnt think it would transfer as fast but for some reason it works fine. i tested it against a usb adapter and it was way faster.

        This product is in a pretty bad built quality especially for the CF memory card slot. It's really hard to insert the CF memory into it correctly, and the CF card could easily break the pin so that it's no longer good for use.

          Comments about Cables Unlimited USB2.0+eSATA to SATA Hard Drive Dock with 2 Port Hub and Memory Card Reader:

          I have this external dock connected to my Windows Home Server. I have several spare 2.5" and 3.5" drives, so the dock is convenient for dropping in and removing them as needed. Also, having the card reader integrated is a nice feature.

          eSATA connection is great for high-speed external disk access.

          The only issue I have is the CF card slot allows a little play, so it is a bit tricky to line up the card on insertion and avoid bending the pins in the slot. The card needs to be oriented upside-down, which seems to be an inconsistency issue with CF card readers in general.
