Excellent for cloning harddisk

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021

Size: 2 BAYVerified Purchase

It successfully cloned my notebook 500 GB harddisk to a 1 TB SSD in under 2 hours. The reason I bought this docking station is because my harddisk has 5 partitions; with Windows in C:\, Data in D:\ and 2 hidden partitions that are used for system restore. From my experience, cloning softwares like Acronis would not be able to clone hidden partitions.

I hope the following would clarify some misunderstandings.
- The docker came with detailed step-by-step instructions. Using the docker, you can only clone to a similar size or larger drive. The amount of data in your source drive is irrelevant. The cloning function need to be performed offline, so you must not be connected to a computer.
- If you have less data in your source drive, you can clone to a smaller target drive, then you would need to use softwares like Acronis.
- SSD is many times faster than harddisk but have a limited lifespan. Currently premium SSD has a warranty of 5 years or 600 TB whichever is earlier. If used daily, the SSD lifespan is only a few years. In general, Windows automatically defragment drives and generate many sizeable system files; eg. pagefile.sys, swapfile.sys and hiberfil.sys. These file size varies from 500 MB to 20 GB depending on the amount of RAM installed on you computer. Most users would be unaware because these files are usually hidden. It is therefore important to have periodic backup your data.

I would like to update my that the docker successfully cloned my PS4 Pro 2 TB harddisk to a 2TB SSD.
FYI, the PS4 Pro harddisk partition and format cannot be access using the computer. It is fortunate that the docker can still complete the cloning. The cloning process took about 5 hours and the result is excellent. The cloning was perfect and the PS4 Pro now loading faster and the FPS gameplay is faster response and smoother. Highly recommended if you are considering to upgrade your PS4 Pro to SSD.

Good external USB, but dubious duplicator

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024

Size: 2 BAYVerified Purchase

As an external USB drive docking station, this works well. Connecting to either a computer directly or through a Wi-Fi router that supports USB share both work, with no problems.

The file transfer speed is decent. In the duplication mode, it duplicated 1.25 TB in about 12 hours, roughly about 30 MB/sec. Not super fast, but quite usable. (In comparison, the newest Synology NAS has about 100 MB/sec, but it is a whole different kind of product, a real NAS having numerous functions such as RAID, cloud file hosting, and many other things, and it costs almost 8 times as much).

The Duplication function, however, is dubious. My first try of duplication failed. The indicators on the device showed that the duplication was done (with all four blue lights having become steady, indicating 100% completion). But when I checked the content, I found the destination drive (slot B) only had category files instead of the actual files under the Windows directory. These machine files are completely unusable of course. That is, the duplication simply didn't work at all, after more than 12 hours of busy work.

Not only that, I initially had a scare of seemingly losing all my data on the source drive. After the duplication was done, I connected to the driver through the computer and saw that all the files had disappeared! I checked both drives, and they showed the same thing. At the moment, I was terrified seeing that the duplicator not only failed to make the duplication but also managed to wipe out all my files in the source drive!

Fortunately, after I disconnected all the drives, powered off the device, and then put the source drive alone back into slot A, and powered back on, it showed that all the files were still there. What a relief.

Then I tried the duplication again. This time I left it untouched for a long time (overnight) even after the indicators showed completion. And it worked. All files were successfully duplicated from the drive in slot A to the drive in slot B.

So, duplication does work. But it is finicky and not reliable.

Note that once the duplication is done, there is no file synchronization between the duplicated drives. One should not expect it otherwise because it is not RAID.

However, interestingly, after duplication, the two drivers show up as one disk letter. That is, when both drives are inserted, you don't see two different drives, but only one drive. If you insert just one drive, it also works independently. That is, the two drives do have some kind of merge when both drives are mounted. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad. They don't have synchronization after duplication. So this makes file management very confusing after the duplication. For example, if you delete some files, on the computer you see the files were deleted (just like normally it would), but behind the scenes, only the files stored in the duplicated drive (slot B) are actually deleted. Nothing changes in the original drive (slot A). But of course, you don't see this unless you take out the duplicated drive and use the original drive alone to check.

Again, because it is not RAID, it makes no sense to have both drives mounted after the duplication. It only causes confusion with this simple product. The better practice is to simply take one of the drives (either the original or the duplicated one) away, put it somewhere as an inactive backup, and use the other drive from that point on. If, after a while, you decide to update the backup, you put the backup drive back on, and do another duplication. This isn't an elegant way to manage a backup. But if you want more, you shouldn't be using a simple device like this. A real NAS with RAID is the solution.

The design of this device is questionable due to not only its potential unreliability in duplication, but also the false alarm of losing all original files (of course this is better than actually losing the files, but still, it is terrible).

Another complaint: the LED lights are too bright. This is a common problem with these electronic devices, and has become a plague.

At this time, I rate it four stars because (1) it works as a very nice external USB drive that is quickly swappable, better than a fixed USB drive if you desire swappability; (2) duplication does work, even though very rudimentary.

Great product! I had a bunch of SATA hard drives laying around, all good drives, but I upgraded all my computers to SSD. Now I can use my SATA drives for storage, backups, whatever I want, even for Virtual Machines. I've tested it on Windows platforms and Apple, both work great!

Extraordinary performance

Reviewed in Canada on March 6, 2024

Size: 2 BAYVerified Purchase

I want to create a very low cost personal data cloud using the USB port of my router, Asus AX86U. Low expectation for performance.

I attached an old WD 1.5 TB hard drive (WD15ERS) to the WAVLINK USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay docking station. Before I realized it, I had spent a few hours in connection and disconnection to the router, and also connection to the computer for testing and retesting because the drive attached to the docking station was only intermittently detected by the router and the computer. The disk drive was scanned for bad sectors and other issues. It passed without any error. I formatted the drive and created new folders. Eventually, the docking station was in a stable connection to the router. Next, I tested the transfer speed by copying a 1.2 GB video from PC to the USB docking station 10 times, which yielded results of 35 to 50 MB/s (equivalent to 280 to 400 Mb/s), decent speed. However, in the next one week, the hard disk drive was frequently not accessible because the status in the router would show “unmounted”. Turning the USB docking station OFF and then ON did not fix it. The only way to fix it was to reboot the router.

Subsequently, I purchased Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay docking station. No change was made to the setting or firmware of the router. The installation to the router was very quick, literally plug and play. Using the same hard disk drive and same video file copied 10 times, the transfer speed ranged from 75 to 105 MB/s (600 to 840 Mb/s, exceeding my expectation. The docking station has been in operation for one week as of this review without any issue.

One minor annoyance I also noticed about WAVLINK - frequently continuous clicking sounds from the hard disk drive even when the drive was not in use. Operation of the same drive in connection to Sabrent docking station is quiet.

WAVELINK was returned to Amazon and no more stress about the “cloud”. My “Tales of Two Docking Stations” for people who might have similar needs and setup.

Bastante fácil de usar si sigues correctamente las instrucciones. Clone hddbde 1Tb a otro hdd y tardó ~3 horas cuándo pensé que tardaría más. Todo ok con el disco clonado lo coloque en una lao toshiba de hace 8 años y jala de manera decente, sin duda le dio vida de nuevo.

Espero en el futuro sig operando el dock de manera correcta

Funktioniert auch mit Enterprise Platten!

Ich wurde bei der Suche nach einem schnellen 3.2 Dock hier fündig. Nicht nur meine (teilweise schon über 10 Jahre) alten Platten laufen problemlos, auch eine "erneuerte" 10 TB Enterprise Festplatte mit "Power Disable Feature" funktionierte sofort, ohne dass ich irgendwelche Pins abkleben musste. Der überaus freundliche und kompetente Kundenbetreuer hatte mir das auf Anfrage bereits bestätigt, weswegen ich die große Festplatte überhaupt erst gekauft habe. Prima Support, alles Bestens!
