This replaces my older 32bit version drive holder that could only handle drives up to 4Tb
I am posting this info in this review because the specs for this say that it supports up to 16TB, but doesn't mention 20TB. That's just because the manufacturer has only tested it on drives up to 16TB (I'm pretty sure that 20TB drives were not yet available when the manufacturer wrote up the specs). Conceptually, since this docking station has enough hardware addressing lines for 16TB drives, it will also work with 20TB drives (and higher capacities), but now I've actually verified this for myself.
I really like this little SATA docking station. It's compact, so I can pack it up with me when I travel. It's quite inexpensive, which is a nice bonus. It doesn't need a user manual - like other SATA docking stations, you just plug it into a USB-C port on your computer, and it just works. It gives you two (potentially very large) hard drives connected to your laptop or desktop computer, to use for backups, or to store large external data files. Super easy and reliable.
The one feature I wish this docking station had was 10Gbps data transfer speed, per the USB 3.x Gen 2 standard. Alas, this docking station only supports the slower and slightly older 5Gbps speed, which is USB 3.0 Gen 1. Truthfully, this is not a big deal, because the SATA III standard for hard drives only supports 6Gbps anyway, so the 10Gbps is overkill, and the 5Gbps speed of this docking station is almost as fast as the 6Gbps maximum speed of SATA III. But still, faster is better. There is another dual-bay SATA docking station here on Amazon that supports 10Gbps - it is the StarTech Dual-Bay SATA Docking Station (10Gbps) . However, I discovered that for some reason that StarTech dual-bay docking station is not compatible with the USB-C shipset in my Clevo laptop. So, I got this Sabrent dual-bay docking station instead, and it works great.
#1 Putting the HDD's outside my case in the docking station helped to keep the inside of my case cooler and by default the drives themselves!
#2 I now had the option of booting the computer with or without the hard drives being turned on. Not having the hard drives on all the time meant a longer life span for the drives (I don't use the power switch on this Sabrent unit while the computer is booted unless I want to turn the drives ON after booting).
There is one thing that Sabrent could do though that would make this docking station near perfect, and that is to add a small quiet fan that would provide some airflow to the drives. Heat naturally rises, so a small fan installed on the bottom of this unit that gently pushes the air upwards around the drives would be a huge plus.
Bottom line...this docking station is a great value and does exactly what it is advertised to do.
