Customer Reviews for SATA Hard Drive USB Docking Station

Sort by:

Unit works right from the box. I had a problem reading files from an NTFS hard drive that had come from my old laptop but this was due to the file permissions and nothing to do with the docking station. If you have the same issue then access the Microsoft Knowledge Base and look for article 308421 "How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP"

Well made and very easy to set up and use. Ideal if you have a few old spare drives hanging about which you want to access or use for storage without the hassle of installing them inside your computer.
