Disappointed to see everyone having bad experiences with this dock. I have 2 of the older, USB 2.0 dual bay docks, and I've been running a RAID array on them for years. They are solid and reliable.

I picked one of these up on a previous drop. It’s not a good product. Massdrop should stop offering it. Drives would barely format and disconnect all the time. This was on Windows. On my current model Mac, drives would not format at all.
I got got one from a different manufacturer and it works, but I don’t see the benefit over a simple enclosed external drive. They are no more expensive than internal drives. I wish I had done my research more. Waste of money.

AhhpancakesYeah can verify from getting one of these at retail from a Best Buy some time ago. The connectivity is extremely spotty/inconsistent, and on top of that, far louder than you would expect them to be. This was for a USB2.0, single bay SATA compatible version (looks exactly like the single bay one above), so YMMV, but I would stay away given another chance at one of these. It finally just failed completely, and that was in a little over a year of only kinda working in the first place. :/

AhhpancakesQFT. Awful dock, HDDs keep disconnecting, even they don't, file transfers stop for some reason very frequently, so a 100mb/s turns into 30mb/s at best. My ancient USB2 dock is a lot more reliable and apparently faster than this USB3 one.

The user reviews for the USB 3.0 version are horrible, with many reporting corrupted drives:

I have an older model (N0028USU) of this dock, with usb 2.0, sata and one bay. I use it with a couple 1TB drives for backups and long term storage.
It works great, but there is a minor design flaw with the power switch, which is simple to fix. I don't know if this flaw exists with the models in this drop.
The power button hits the pcb, preventing full switch actuation. The fix is to simply file a flat spot on the button sufficient to clear the pcb, then super glue it to the switch post. You should also file a little more away to account for switch wobble, which is considerable. After this fix, it won't be a problem ever again.
BTW, the eject button on these is just an assist. You have to pull the drive out while using the eject button, otherwise you might break it.

linerrorThat's MD for you. Posting wrong info in drop description is pretty much a rule here.

The HDD with the window is an old Western Digital Raptor X drive for those wondering. Shame more companies didn't put a window on any of their drives, thats such a cool thing!
This dock is garbage though, save some money and get an aluminum Unitek.

They came with a heatsink for a reason lol. I actually had to search a little bit to figure out the drive name. I'll still run mechanical drives for a while, I'd love a windowed one. It's one of the few parts in a PC that actually move while working on something (other than fans, meh) and I just always like that visible functionality.

T3chHippieI can't speak for the specific models in this drop, but the one I have is not junk. Cheap in price, yes. But I've had it for about 9 years and it still works perfectly. For what little I paid (maybe $20), it just can't be beat.

fckmassdropI have a Newer Tech single dock that is at least a 3yo design and it supports drives up to 6TB. How old is this design if it is limited to only 3TB drives? This seems more appropriate for Big Lots than Massdrop.
