Drive Docking Station | 10Gbps USB-C Transfer | Dual Bay RAID 0/1 Support

This two-bay hard drive docking station lets you put two 3.5-inch SATA drives together. It creates one fast external RAID storage unit. It plugs in with USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C. This gives you data transfers up to 10Gbps. It holds up to 36TB total. Features and Benefits - Choose RAID 0/1 Modes - Use RAID 0 to spread data across two drives. This makes access faster. Or pick RAID 1 to copy your data. This gives you an instant backup and redundancy. - USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Port - Get transfer speeds up to 10Gbps. This lets you move big files fast. You won't have slowdowns, especially with a quick RAID 0 setup. - Built-in Cooling Fan - A fan inside cools both drives. This stops them from getting too hot during heavy use. It also helps your HDDs last longer. - Simple, Tool-Free Setup - Drives slide in easily. You set up the RAID with a switch on the back. This SATA HDD docking station supports up to 36TB (two 18TB drives). Applications - For Video Editing - Set it to RAID 0 for a fast scratch disk. You'll get the speed you need to edit big video files. You can work right from this external RAID storage without delays. - For Important Data Backup - Put this two-bay hard drive enclosure in RAID 1 mode. It automatically makes an exact copy of your data on the second drive. This gives you peace of mind. - For More General Storage - Use it to add a lot of storage to your desktop or laptop. It's a simple way to store large media collections or work files. Normal Usage (Connecting to a PC or Mac) A drive docking station like this one provides a convenient way to access data from 3.5 inch hard drives or SSDs. It functions as an external enclosure, allowing you to connect a drive to your computer via USB. This 10Gbps USB-C model is ideal for quickly transferring large files. It’s perfect for data recovery, migrating operating systems, or simply using old hard drives as external storage. With dual bays, you can manage two drives simultaneously. Step 1: Connect the Dock First, connect the power adapter to the drive docking station and plug it into a mains socket. Next, use the provided USB cable to connect the docking station’s USB 3.1 Type-C port to a compatible USB port on your PC or Mac. Ensure the connection is secure for optimal 10 Gbps data transfer. This establishes the bridge controller connection between the dock and your computer, ready for drive insertion. Step 2: Insert the Hard Drive or SSD With the docking station connected, carefully insert your 3.5 inch hard drive or SSD into one of the dual bays. Ensure the SATA connectors align correctly as you gently push the drive down until it is seated firmly. The maximum hard drive capacity supported is 44 TB, so you can use very large drives. You can insert one drive or two drives, depending on your needs. Step 3: Power On & Access Data Once the drive or drives are inserted, locate the power switch on the docking station and turn it on. Your operating system should detect the new hardware automatically. The drive will then appear as an external USB drive in your computer's file explorer or Finder, allowing you to access, read, and write data at speeds up to 10 Gbps. Remember to safely eject the drive before powering down or removing it. Offline Cloning / Duplicating (Dual-Bay Docks Only) This dual-bay docking station supports RAID 0 and RAID 1, which can also be used for offline cloning. To clone a drive, insert the source drive into the first bay and the target drive (which must be equal or larger in size) into the second bay. Ensure both drives are 3.5 inch. Activate the cloning function (refer to the product manual for specific button presses, as this varies by model). The dock will then duplicate the data from one drive to the other without needing a computer connection.
