## Description

Review: ASMedia chip makes it 5 * for me. The main review is in the next paragraph, some instructions and fine points follow. I have now owned this for 5 years and used it many times. Perfect performance with enough speed. I have used it for backup, and offline cloning. The documentation is not stellar but it's OK. The feel is solid; cables for power and USB seem snug in their sockets, but do not nudge them! The ASMedia chip has a good reputation, so I think ongoing operations will be smooth. I am using two 2TB enterprise HDDs, which tend to run a bit hotter than consumer drives. Using crystaldiskinfo and crystaldiskmark In a room about 20 degrees C., I am seeing temps below 32 degrees C during the most intense long duration use and benchmarking tests . Sequential read/write speeds from a screaming fast NVME SSD equipped computer are of about 190 and 400 MB/s on a USB 3.0 port. Disk to disk cloning is faster. I like this a lot! NEVER PLUG IN OR REMOVE A DRIVE INTO/FROM THIS DOCK WHILE ANOTHER DRIVE IS MOUNTED (through this dock) ON YOUR COMPUTER. It warns you about that in the friendly manual. TO USE AS DISK CLONER: DO NOT connect the USB cable!!!!!! 1: plug power into wall and dock and ensure that switch is OFF 2 insert BOTH drives making sure that you do not need the data on the target drive, 3: power on the dock, 4: press the not-so-accessible button on the back labeled start for three seconds and release, 5: briefly hit the same button and a tiny blue led at the bottom front of the unit (can be a bit hard to see) will flash under "25%". That led will go solid and the next one will flash (under 50%) as cloning progresses. When the 100% LED is solid, turn off switch and remove disks. FOR USE CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER (like backup or file transfer): 1: plug power into wall and dock and ensure that switch is OFF. 2: plug USB cord into host computer and dock, 3: plug drive(s) into slot(s) 4: power on the dock. In windows 7 I did typed disk into the computers search box (magnifying glass in taskbar), found the app to partition the new disk and used that app to initialize it. It automatically named with the disk manufacturer's name. To disconnect: 1. Use the "safely remove hardware" button in your taskbar, 2.: when you get an OK to remove notice, turn switch off, 3.: remove disks. 4.: Unplug power and USB. BTW to use the "safely remove hardware" button in the taskbar I had to go to "my computer", right click the disk, hit properties then policies, and optimize the particular drive for performance rather than for removal. In the default (optimized for removal) setting, the disconnect button in the taskbar did not work; when I tried, it always said the drive was in use.
Review: did what i asked of it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My computer sees the device and reports it is connected and working properly but i do not get a drive letter assigned to access the hard drive-help**
A: You do NOT need a any extra drivers to use a HDD - Windows has that already.

This sounds like you got a new (empty) HDD and are trying to start using it. What you did not find out is that ANY new empty HDD must be prepared for use by your OS. The two steps are to Create a Partition on the HDD (this creates the disk's Partition Table and defines a specific area of it to be used as one "drive" with its own letter name), and then to Format that Partition (create the File System in that Partition so files can be stored and retrieved). Often the two steps are combined together, and called "Intitalizing" the disk.

For a full explanation and procedure using Disk Management, read WyomingKnott's sticky at the top of the Storage ... General Discussion forum here:

Pay particular attention to his Step 5.

**Q: Is the max capacity 12tb or 10tb for a single disk?**
A: 12TB, We have tested it by Engineer

Thanks you

**Q: Is there a manual online for this single dock unit? i received a unit with the manual and its not working. tryjng to figure out ifbyits doa.**
A: That happened to me also. I couldn't get it to work either..

**Q: Does anyone know if this dock will not support sata iii hard drives since it states sata ii/i ?**
A: From the description: "hard drive docking enclosure support all USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/III 2.5''/ 3.5'' Hard Drive Disk(HDD) and Solid State Driveand(SSD), up to 1 x 12TB."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***N on 22 October 2023*

I had a failing 2012 1TB 3.5” HDD in my HP ENVY 23- All in one. Missing boot drive, black screen of death stuff etc. i managed to get it to boot then it immediately froze and stopped. I ran diagnostics and the disk passed, so I scrambled to replace it before it died. I was going to use a disc cloning software like Macrium etc, but ran across the Cinolink and bought it so I didn’t have to use a computer, software, mess with drive slots and SATA cables etc. and do it offline instead which I’d never tried. Long story short it took 14 hours but I ended up with a perfect image/ clone 2TB SSD which works perfectly. Crisis averted and the computer is running better than new. I doubled the drive storage capacity also which you will have to allocate after the cloning process as no software was used to pre- set different volumes. Really happy with this very convenient device. I don’t mind waiting 14 hours either although the whole time I was wondering If it was going to fail. Ha! It didn’t and I’m back in business. Thanks. Update to this review. I have now used the Cinolink clone feature to clone 3 additional 500GB C drives which only took roughly 45 minutes to copy! Work perfectly also! Replacing all my old HDD boot. drives for faster SSD’s and the boot time performance of those PC’s is now way faster .
