There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did a little test and found that using the manual driving cloning feature is no faster than using a software-based backup app to mirror data between one drive and the other. Don't buy this thinking that it will rapidly clone multi-terabyte drives in minutes. It takes hours to clone the drives. Also, if your destination drive is larger than the source one, that additional space will not be partitioned. But you can extend the partition with free software available on the internet.
Honestly, this doesn't offer any more functionality than what I could get with a SATA-to-USB adapter and some backup software. But it does look nicer and reduces the number of cables I need to hook up multiple drives. It's convenient if you have multiple drives that you are regularly attaching to your PC or are looking for an easy way to duplicate data between two physical drives.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
I hope the following would clarify some misunderstandings.
- The docker came with detailed step-by-step instructions. Using the docker, you can only clone to a similar size or larger drive. The amount of data in your source drive is irrelevant. The cloning function need to be performed offline, so you must not be connected to a computer.
- If you have less data in your source drive, you can clone to a smaller target drive, then you would need to use softwares like Acronis.
- SSD is many times faster than harddisk but have a limited lifespan. Currently premium SSD has a warranty of 5 years or 600 TB whichever is earlier. If used daily, the SSD lifespan is only a few years. In general, Windows automatically defragment drives and generate many sizeable system files; eg. pagefile.sys, swapfile.sys and hiberfil.sys. These file size varies from 500 MB to 20 GB depending on the amount of RAM installed on you computer. Most users would be unaware because these files are usually hidden. It is therefore important to have periodic backup your data.
I would like to update my that the docker successfully cloned my PS4 Pro 2 TB harddisk to a 2TB SSD.
FYI, the PS4 Pro harddisk partition and format cannot be access using the computer. It is fortunate that the docker can still complete the cloning. The cloning process took about 5 hours and the result is excellent. The cloning was perfect and the PS4 Pro now loading faster and the FPS gameplay is faster response and smoother. Highly recommended if you are considering to upgrade your PS4 Pro to SSD.

I attached an old WD 1.5 TB hard drive (WD15ERS) to the WAVLINK USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay docking station. Before I realized it, I had spent a few hours in connection and disconnection to the router, and also connection to the computer for testing and retesting because the drive attached to the docking station was only intermittently detected by the router and the computer. The disk drive was scanned for bad sectors and other issues. It passed without any error. I formatted the drive and created new folders. Eventually, the docking station was in a stable connection to the router. Next, I tested the transfer speed by copying a 1.2 GB video from PC to the USB docking station 10 times, which yielded results of 35 to 50 MB/s (equivalent to 280 to 400 Mb/s), decent speed. However, in the next one week, the hard disk drive was frequently not accessible because the status in the router would show “unmounted”. Turning the USB docking station OFF and then ON did not fix it. The only way to fix it was to reboot the router.
Subsequently, I purchased Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay docking station. No change was made to the setting or firmware of the router. The installation to the router was very quick, literally plug and play. Using the same hard disk drive and same video file copied 10 times, the transfer speed ranged from 75 to 105 MB/s (600 to 840 Mb/s, exceeding my expectation. The docking station has been in operation for one week as of this review without any issue.
One minor annoyance I also noticed about WAVLINK - frequently continuous clicking sounds from the hard disk drive even when the drive was not in use. Operation of the same drive in connection to Sabrent docking station is quiet.
WAVELINK was returned to Amazon and no more stress about the “cloud”. My “Tales of Two Docking Stations” for people who might have similar needs and setup.
