Dual-Bay SATA Dock for 2.5 and 3.5 Inch Drives
This docking station accepts two SATA hard drives or SSDs at once, supporting capacities up to 18 TB per bay. It connects to a host computer over USB 3.0 and works with Windows, macOS and Linux without driver installation. The vertical design keeps the unit stable on a desk and relies on passive airflow, entering sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Offline Cloning Upgrade from Single-Drive Docks
Unlike single-bay adapters, this unit can duplicate a drive in slot A to slot B without a PC connection, using LED indicators at 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent progress. The jump is worth it when you regularly migrate entire disks or back up systems and want a standalone clone button. It does not serve users who need more than two simultaneous drives or who require a hardware RAID mode.
Sustained Transfer Behaviour with UASP
Under continuous use the dock delivers up to 405 MB/s for host transfers and up to 485 MB/s during offline cloning, with UASP support reducing protocol overhead. Passive cooling handles the thermal load of two full-size drives without added fans. Performance will drop if either drive exceeds the 6 Gbps SATA III link speed or if the host USB port falls back to USB 2.0.

Questions about this item
What drive sizes and capacities does the dual-bay dock accept?
The dock holds both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA HDDs or SSDs, with each bay supporting up to 18 TB.
How do I start an offline clone and what is the critical capacity rule?
Insert the source drive in slot A and the target in slot B, power on without a USB connection, then press the clone button; the target must be larger than the source.
What maintenance does the dock need and how does its sleep mode work?
No routine maintenance is required; the unit enters sleep mode automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity to save energy.
