DynamiteZerg Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) My current one bought long long time ago in Australia, from Aldi, is really CMI. IIRC, It is using a really crappy JMicron chipset that is known to have a lot of issues. The transfer speed is not that good and it is quite picky with the type of USB3 controllers it works with. Also the connection keeps dropping for good reason. So trying to get it to work is really a hit and miss. So after trying it again over the weekend... I gave up! Any good HDD docking station to recommend? I read the following article: https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-hdd-docks They seem to recommend Stardock? https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B019Y4JE22/ezvid02-20 Any good?

DynamiteZerg Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hmm... how come all of them so scared to show the chipset used? My current one is JMicron based so I'm trying to avoid those with crappy chipsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much standard for buying stuff off TB. Interesting part was the last leg in Singapore was delivered by Singpost using Speed Post. Tested the device earlier today. Using the USB3 connection to my laptop, the transfer speed averages around 75MB/s. Transferring between the HDDs in the dock is much faster. Averages about 125MB/s. Device compatibility wise, way way better than my older dual HDDs dock. Worked straight off once plugged into my laptop. Older dock is a bit of a hit and miss at times. Verdict? Orico seems to be a reputable brand and delivers what it promises in its product. Will recommend it to others for this quad port dock. If don't need the quad port, then the dual or triple port versions will do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File transfers between hard disks when upgrading the hard disks to bigger capacity. Also for file backups. Lazy to get a NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
