Works great. No issues so far. HDD's easily fit, however they can be moved back and forth since it's not perfectly snug. But that is not a problem because if you're moving these around while in use, then you need to read Hard Drives for Dummies. No speed problems and it works on multiple platforms easily. I use this for backing up data and an external drives for my Xbox 360.

The UNIDOCKU33 does not have a set maximum drive capacity. All drives that conform to current SATA / IDE standards are expected to work. Brandon, StarTech.com Support
