    18 customers mention11 positive7 negative

    Customers are mixed about the speed of the hard drive enclosure. Some mention that it's fast at transferring data, with no drop in speed. However, others say that the speed was a constant bottleneck, and the throughput is not what they were hoping for. The latency of opening videos is very high, and it only gives the USB 2.0 speed at 40 MB/s max.

    "...Have not measured the transfer rate, but using USB 3.2 it is very fast. The small install instructions were correct and to the point." Read more

    "...Third, the device seems slow for having a USB C connection..." Read more

    7 customers mention4 positive3 negative

    Customers are mixed about the size of the hard drive enclosure. Some mention it's easy to use, fast, and takes both sizes of SATA drives. They also love that it can also take laptop drives. However, others say that no size of drive fits well in this product, the cache sizes are different, and the USB-C connecter does not fit into a Thunderbolt port.

    "...Its super easy to use, fast, and takes both sizes of SATA drives...." Read more

    "...(since this was a raw test of zeroing a disk) is that the cache sizes were different and there's at least two years between the drives...." Read more

    "No size of drive fits well in this product...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the connectivity of the hard drive enclosure. They mention that their hard drives disconnect and reconnect in Windows. They also say that the enclosure often goes offline and stops working.

    "...So, my hard drives disconnect and reconnect in Windows, which is frustrating...." Read more

    "...For about the last week, the A drive has been disconnecting overnight. It happens every night. It does not seem to be related to any activity...." Read more

    "...They made me buy 150-dollar drive and even it keeps crashing in this dock so please do not buy. They will blame you for the issue." Read more

    "...and anything more than drumming your fingers near it causes the drives to disconnect...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the tech in the hard drive enclosure. They mention that it's not as good as expected, it fails on some advertised claims, and is an absolute waste of money.

    ‎EC-CH2B Fails on some Advertised claims (hot-swap) but is a fast and stable HD controller.
    Okay, before I get flack for the headline, let me attack that up front. Right away I tested by starting a delete operation on a disk as I got ready to start browsing the contents on another old drive before I got down to business to delete it as well.Well, inserting a new drive into the enclosure triggers a reset in the controller meaning that any operations you were engaging with get shut down as the drive is brought down temporarily as the controller resets. It is unacceptable behavior to advertise "hot swappable" when the drive in fact--is NOT hot swappable. The enclosure should be able to gracefully handle removing and adding disks while work is being done.The other problem I ran into was that I'm dealing with some old SATA 2.0 drives, which should max out to roughly 120-130Mb write speeds each. The GOOD news, is that the enclosure absolutely allows max speed reads and writes! The first image (131MB/s) was in running sdelete on two drives simultaneously, which was disappointing--we were topping out around 131MB/s for two separate drives. After killing one of the jobs I watched the rate drop from 131MB/s to the expected ~120MB/s (Bursts up to 160MB/s)My SATA 3.0 drives operate beautifully with sustained writes of 200MB/s==Cloning Performance==This is where other reviewers have noted performance varying across the board I tested this with old tech, cloning a 500GB WD5001AALS from a Samsung HD501LJ The clone completed in 2:06 for a full duplication Of lesser importance (since this was a raw test of zeroing a disk) is that the cache sizes were different and there's at least two years between the drives. In other words, if there is a problem due to hardware discrepancy--I would have pulled that out here. I would gladly use this to dupe drives offline, it was actually faster than how long it took to zero the drive in the first place. (~2.5hrs)In conclusion, I'm incredibly happy with the product, it serves exactly the purpose I needed. So why the negative review?*Don't lie about your product features!* Screenshot here includes the words on the box: "Plug & Play, Hot swappable"However, your product doesn't allow you to read/write from drive A and insert a drive into drive B's slot without breaking everything that you were currently doing. I am loathe to try other, larger models fearing that the exact same problem exists there too.If it wasn't for that misrepresentation, this is a 5* product.
