## Description

Buy

Review: A very capable HDD docking station. - The docking station worked seamlessly with both my computer and the old drive I was externally connecting. It was very straightforward to install the hard drive in the dock, and I was easily able to fully back up 2 TB of data. The enclosure is sturdy, and I like the transparent cover as it allows me to easily see the drive that's inserted. Overall I am very pleased with this product as it performs as advertised and at a reasonable price point.
Review: very good purchase at a great price - delighted with the drive, updated the firmwire as advised on the web to format bigger drives and its been working really well for me, fast enough through my USB 2.0 slots and drive doesnt get too hot in the chassis. Really happy with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this be able to read data already stored on the hdd? or will it just ask to re-format the hdd when i connect?**
A: Yes you will be able to read the data already stored on the drive, unless it is corrupted in some way.

**Q: I have inserted a new 3tb seagate sata drive and connected the power. when i connect usb the blue light flashes, but doesn't show on pc.**
A: I had exactly this with a WD Purple 3 Tb drive. You have to go to Sabrent's website and download a Firmware update. Then carefully follow the instructions for the exe file. Once I did that and rebooted I could see the drive, and then partitioned it into separate 1Tb and 2Tb sectors. Everything seems to work as it should.

**Q: Hi can I put an 8tb 3.5 hard drive in this hard station and use it with my Xbox one s**
A: Yes, you can. It supports hard drives up to 10 TB per slot.

**Q: Does this have Sleepmode**
A: Not that I'm aware of.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good purchase at a great price
*by C***Y on 2 February 2026*

delighted with the drive, updated the firmwire as advised on the web to format bigger drives and its been working really well for me, fast enough through my USB 2.0 slots and drive doesnt get too hot in the chassis. Really happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spare drives
*by D***X on 9 July 2025*

No issues with delivery as arrived in good condition and on time. On opening the box the item looked good, but the lid felt plastic when using and this I felt should of been metal or hard plastic. The item worked well when drives were inserted and used, with the speed being good, however the smaller drives were a bit tricky to release from holder but this could be down to my large fingers. I would still recommend this drives as made life easier swopping my drives except took a bit longer with small ones. Other than that this is an excellent product and well worth getting if you have extra drives you need files from but don't need sitting in your computer and as you do not need to use screws, just open lid insert drive into it then plug into a Usb port on you computer which makes it easy to setup, install and use. Recommended.
