Comments about Aluratek SuperSpeed USB 3.0 2.5"/3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Enclosure:
Having to replace several hardrives it's nice to be able to just pop the old drives into the docking enclosure to access any recoverable data without have to try and reinistall them. It's a great tool if your fortunate enough to know you have to change a drive or if you want to upgrade one. I find it easier to have old drives availble than recovering from bac-ups. It's an economical device to have and hope you don't have to use.
Comments about Aluratek SuperSpeed USB 3.0 2.5"/3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Enclosure:
The unit works fine with even 3TB HDs as well. It is very simple to operate, there is no setup of any kind and much better than having a "housed" external drive. Just simply unplug one drive, install the other and there you go. Or, you can get two of them to syncronize between HDs.
The fitting, however, feels a bit loose. I was expecting a tighter fit with more secure feeling. But it works and that's what matters.
