CDR-King SATA HDD Docking Station Combo (CW-D2)

Docking Station Combo w/ 3.5 HDD loaded

Necessity is the mother of invention.  I was in a bind when my desktop's power supply was destroyed.  I was rarely using the unit anyway and I was already using laptops.  The desktop was more than 5 years old and I was given the option to buy a new power supply and LCD monitor, since it's CRT monitor is already busted anyway.  The desktop's bios is already acting up and I only need my files.

So I decided to just buy a SATA HDD enclosure for my existing Hard Drive.  As I was buying the HDD enclosure, this docking station combo caught my eye.  It's almost the same price and has more options, by just removing and replacing a HDD, much like game cartridges of old Family Computer (NES) days.

This Docking Station Combo can be used for 2.5 & 3.5 HDD sizes. And has card readers on the front and 2 USB connections at the back for flash drives.









There are three(3) models to choose from, as far as I know, one has no USB ports at the back and no memory card readers on the front, the other one has an additional eSATA port at the back.

Only difference per model is P100(about $2), the model I bought cost P680(about $16).  





Note: Hard Disk Drives used here are SATA versions.

      Hi Nez. I will write a review on this. But, the only drawback for this device is the speed on which the windows OS can identify the drive. If you have a 500GB drive, patitioned into 5 drives, the detection can take a while to reflect. Also, the problem of accidentally removing a USB or a loose USB might be a problem when using the device.

    IDsonix SuperSpeed SATA Hard Drive Docking Station from Bizarkdeal

    As the title says, it's well built. I am using it for my backup drive to store media. Doesn't take up space on my drive, and I am in love with the USB 3.0 technology it has. The transfer rate is fast when I'm backing up my music. I was worried about the power supply producing noise but I was wrong. It's very quiet when its operating.

    I recommended this product to a friend who wants to backup his laptop to an extra HDD he has, showed him how it works and he loves it! I would recommend it to you if you backup a lot of data.
