Ephemeral operation

Installation OK, HD clone OK. After a week, however, the HDs were no longer mounted on the system. Tested on several PCs However, the HDs are running. Faulty USB cable? I will return the product

        Not bad, didn't test the copy button though

        I should have bought this product directly instead of buying usb sata adapters from a well-known Chinese site that starts with "ali", which only worked once...

        No problem

        The device is instantly recognised; discs are easily plugged in and recognised/played without any problem.

        Disappointing, finally

        Tried with Windows 7 and Windows 10. In both cases, disconnects very often: very annoying when backing up, with the fear of damaging the hard drive (As unfortunately is the case with many competing products, I don't savagely fall back to one *, but it's depressing!) I have the impression that this happens more with USB3 ports than USB2.
        As for the clone function, so far I haven't managed to get it to work. If I can get it to work, I'll revise my judgement (but only by one *).
        Is there a dock that can be trusted, and durable?

        A must have dock!

        Dock for internal hard drives of laptops and desktops. 2 slots. Useful for recycling old SATA HDDs from your previous PCs.

        It works :-)

        Easy to use, it works as expected (which was not the case with an icy box bought previously in another shop), the little on/off button on the back is practical, the shell is shiny and not matte as the picture would suggest, nothing to complain about tip top

        correct but where is the support site

        The product looks OK.
        An attempt to copy a file from C: to an external drive works very well.
        I haven't tried the Clone function yet (that's for later)
        But on the other hand, where is the Download and Support site because http://advance.tm.fr/downloadcenter (or /support) does not exist and an internet search only points to LDLC.
        So what about what is announced in the manual: download online drivers, manuals or need help
        The manual dates from 2017 and apart from a very small address in Marne la Vallée, no existence of the company Advance.
        last remark; it apparently works correctly under W10-64 H2004, but the manual does not mention W10 (but it also mentions W me and W xp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        paradise

        delivery time: super fast
        the quality of the product: wonderful for what we expect
        the price of the product: always too expensive when you are a minimum wage earner
        the rating: 9/10 because you could have a loyalty card for the same price?

        Perfect!

        Always solicited (by family and friends) to recover data on disks without a case (PC down or change of disk) this "dock" is perfect because it allows to mount a disk from Linux or Window$ very quickly without having to reboot the bike...
        A 2.5" or 3.5" disk becomes a simple USB key :-) ... and in addition there are 2 slots ....
        Not yet used the clone function .... I guess you have to be careful not to make a mistake between source and destination disks ;-)

        Very fast and efficient clone

        I bought this dock in the hope of cloning an end-of-life hard drive for data recovery, following several formatting operations. The cloning took 1.5 hours for 1TB, which I think is very fast.
        I was able to do my recovery directly on the clone, which means that the cloning was very well done.

        The only small "flaw" is the LED reading which is not very clear, and can be confusing when starting the cloning.

        I highly recommend this purchase, especially for the price it costs.

        very good product

        Cheap product but very efficient. I bought a 2nd one that runs continuously because my first one has been running perfectly for a long time. Big disks on it, easy and fast copies, I only work on Linux, maybe that's why.

        Very good purchase

        I bought 3 of them because I had 8 hard drives and I already had a similar device from Heden.
        They work very well. And it allowed me to recover all my SATA and USB ports from my PC
        To be precise, I also installed the 7 port ICY BOX USB3 HUB, and everything works fine.

        I did not test the cloning because I use a very powerful software for that

        Very good product

        The product is very good, it does what you ask of it.
        The first time, to put the hard disks, it is a bit tricky, but after that it is fine.
        I highly recommend it for backup or virtual.

        Many problems

        The disks regularly jump and compromise copies of large files. Tested on 3 different products, different disks and different machines, the results are the same = it works badly! I do not recommend

        Dual dock station Advance

        Express delivery: (2 days)
        Functioning: perfect!
        Very happy with the product.
        For info: do not want to clone an HDD to an SDD if the capacity of the SDD is smaller (even if the data to be transferred fits in the SDD). I had to download a cloning program (AOMEI) that allows this specific transfer.
        Finally everything is ok!
        THANKS

        Why hadn't I seen it before?

        I'm constantly checking internal hard drives for various reasons, and I was constantly using the connection systems that you have to plug in all over the place. Now you connect to usb and power and voila, you can put in your drives, 2.5" or 3.5". Whether you decide to repair, recover, format or use your disks as a backup, it's perfect. Fast delivery, well packaged. Great service as usual.

        Good product but ...

        The dock works perfectly and I just had to go into the settings of my computer (windows 7) to recognize it and import files. My only regret is the noise it makes when it is turned on and when copying. I have to say that it is a great tool to have on your computer.

        I have to say that it's a good value for money, but the noise is a bit too much.

        Not Reliable

        The device is not expensive but you get what you pay for.
        I had a lot of trouble getting the HDDs to rise on the desk. When there is a power cut, the HDDs do not go up on their own and get abnormally hot.
        You have to turn off the dock and bring up the HDs one by one.
        I haven't found any instructions online to see if there is any special handling and if the (blue) button on the front serves any purpose.
        In short if you have valuable data, see a more serious backup.

        Very good

        Used to give a second life and utility to old internal hard drives, it does the job perfectly and quickly!
        The cloning function could come in handy when an SSD replaces the system drive!
        Very good value for money.
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.

        A good product.

        The product is of good quality, if you need to connect 1 or 2 SATA hard drives (for a run or to make a clone or a ghost).
        I am very pleased with the quality of the product. I am completely satisfied.
