WAVLINK USB 3.0 and USB C to SATA Dual-Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5/3.5 Inch HDD/SSD with UASP (6Gbps), Support Offline Clone/Duplicator Function [16TB X2 ]-Black

Works 100% as advertised. Fast I/O via USB 3.2; 200+ MBps read; 100 MBps write to a 240 GB SSD.It took 17.5 minutes to clone a 240 GB SSD loaded with Win 10 Pro--the cloned drive booted right up with no issues; retained the original UUID. That's slower than using dedicated cloning application, however it did it completely "stand-alone" with no intervention needed.With two 1 TB 3.5" HDDs loaded and active it drew less than 1 A.I LIKE it!

Nice dual drive unit. Plugged it in, turned on the power switch on the back, and was in business.

i got this because my years old sdd was beginning to fail. the last time i had to replace my hard drive, years ago with the sdd that was failing, i reinstalled everything which took almost an entire day to reinstall everything and get it set back up. the idea of being able to do it quicker and easier was well worth $30 to try. and it worked as advertised...with a slight learning curve.first, the videos i watched all said directly cloning the hard drive would create an exact clone, meaning the newer, larger sdd i bought would only show the same size as the sdd i was cloning. so i was prepared for that and used free software called AOMEI Partition Assistant to be able to use the entire drive. you CAN use windows disk management to increase the size of the c drive partition. the problem i had was there was a recovery partition between 2 unallocated spaces and disk management would only let me increase the size by the first space. i didnt want to delete the recovery partition and AOMEI allows you to move the recovery partition to the end so i could access both unallocated spaces. it was a very small hassle, nothing that would change my mind that buying this was well worth it.the 2nd issue was more frustrating and isnt a problem with the unit, though i initially thought it was. people who have experience cloning c drives may already know this, but this was my first time and i didnt. i took my old ssd out of my desktop and directly cloned it with this unit. it seemed to be pretty fast. i started it, took a shower and by the time i was done, so was the new sdd. i put it in my desktop, turned the power on...and then got a message that my desktop didnt find a boot disc. after checking connections and getting the same message, i thought maybe the cloning hadnt worked. so i reformatted and tried again...only to get the same result. at that point i decided to try and use the AEOMI software on my laptop to try and clone the sdd using the unit plugged into the laptop. and while searching for the best way to do that, one of the several results i read had instructions to go into the bios and set the boot order to the new disc. so i did that and voila, it booted up perfectly. as i said, many people might already know that, but as this was my first time doing this, i didnt. and i didnt see it mentioned in the instructions or any of the video reviews i watched. so if youre brand new to this, like me, remember to go into BIOS and set the boot order to the new disc.

Excellent device. It worked as expected with no problems. Simple to use and instructions are easy to follow. Speed of data transfer is typical but complete. It's is a recommended device for the cost.

This is an excellent way to copy a hard drive and also view it on your computer

The docking function works well enough, appears to operate at full USB 3.0 speed, but the original unit's disk clone function failed to work out of the box after repeated trials. The included manual was little help, and the vendor's website had no useful information. Returned the WAVLINK unit the day after receiving it.The vendor, WAVLINK, then contacted me through Amazon, and asked to send a new unit for me to re-retry the disk cloning function. I received the unit and once again attempted to clone a clone a 1TB (WD Blue) disk to a 2TB (Seagate FireCuda) disk. They were very clear that the following directions had to be followed in order:"Hard Drive Duplicator Function:Don't plug USB to a computer when using the Clone function. Ensure the Target HDD is the same capacity of the Source HDD or larger.1, Ensure the Power Switch on the rear is in the OFF Position and plugged in properly.2, Insert the Source HDD in the rear near the power plug and insert the Target HDD in the front.3, Power on the Dock and wait until the blue lights labeled Source and Target on the front of the unit are both on solid.4, Press the button until both the blue Source and Target HDD lights flash. Then release the button. (Cloning is now ready) 5, Press the button again to start the cloning process. The progress will be shown on the front panel.6, When all the progress lights turn off the cloning process is complete.7, Turn off the power button and then remove the drives.Note:The new drives need one more step to make the drive useable.First open disk management--> on the bottom select the partition that is called unallocated partition---> right click the unallocated partition and click extended volume and follow the procedure and remember to select the volume format as NTFS."(This information was also presented in another review, and was the process I originally followed.) I followed the WAVLINK directions with the new unit and it worked as advertised. The clone function worked well, worked quickly, and kept me informed through the front panel lights as to its progress. All of the testing I have done indicates that the data on the 2TB Firecuda is an exact copy of the 1TB WD Blue disk, with an additional partition that needed to be activated via Win10's disk manager. Based on my experience I can only assume that the original unit was electrically defective, or had faulty firmware. The new unit simply worked as advertised.I do not know how it will work over time, but the unit sent by WAVLINK appears very solid. I recommend the unit.
