Hardware Installation

JBOD (PC) Mode

  1. Connect the external power adapter to the hard drive dock.
  2. Install 1 or 2 hard drives into the dock in either drive bay.
  3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power button.
  4. The Mode button LED should be blue to indicate JBOD mode. Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to switch modes if necessary.
  5. Connect the USB or e SATA cable from the hard drive dock to the computer system.
    NOTE: If using eSATA, the port on the computer system must support Port Multiplier technology for both drives to be visible.
  6. The operating system should now detect the hard drive(s) and make them available. The hard drives may need to be partitioned/formatted using a disk management utility before you can access them.

Duplicator Mode

  1. Connect the external power adapter to the hard drive dock.
  2. Install 2 hard drives into the dock. Make sure to place the drive with the data you want copied (Source) into the “Source” bay. The disk to receive the data (Destination) should be equal or larger in capacity than the source disk.
  3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power button.
  4. The Mode button LED should be red to indicate Duplicator Mode. Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to switch modes if necessary.
  5. Once both drives are installed, press the Start button to begin duplication. The progress bar will indicate how much of the duplication is complete. Once complete, the entire bar will be lit solid.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Which is better, SSD or HDD?
Which is more stable, SSD or HDD? SSDs are heavier than HDDs, use less energy and have good vibration – because there are no moving parts. They can also provide better protection against corruption than HDDs. SSDs store data electronically in a “brain”, which makes data accessible faster than spinning HDDs.

Is a 256gb SSD better than a 1TB hard drive?
If you need faster writes and reads, a 250GB SSD is better. However, the storage space will be very limited. On the other hand, if you are a professional gamer or video editor, you may prefer a 250GB SSD. The 1TB HDD storage option has only one advantage: 1TB of storage.

FAQS

How does a hard drive dock work?
The dock reads the data on the drive. Then, it sends the data via a USB connection to the connected computer or laptop. By using a hard drive dock, you can quickly and easily access the data stored on your hard drives without having to install the drive on a computer or laptop.
What is a drive dock used for?
A hard drive dock is a docking station for your hard drive. It allows you to connect your hard drives to different sources to transfer data from the hard drive. Browse the top-ranked list of hard drive docks below along with associated reviews and opinions.
Can you use a docking station as an external hard drive?
You connect the docking station to the computer, drop in the drives; they show up as external drives in your OS, and you can use them just the same. Having the dual docking station means you have two slots, and this is brilliant for photographers either on a budget, or just looking to maximize resources.
Do laptop docks need drivers?
The PC may start installing a driver for the peripherals attached through the dock (keyboard, mouse, etc.) during setup, but no driver is required for the dock itself.
Why docking is needed?
The main benefit of a docking station is that it allows you to quickly and easily connect multiple devices to the same connection. This greatly reduces clutter because it eliminates the need for multiple cables and adapters. Additionally, it simplifies the setup process by letting you attach all peripherals at once.
