    Works perfectly, but be sure that your EIDE drive is jumpered as "Master."
  

*by O***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2016*

My desktop PC suddenly went unusable last year (probably the motherboard went belly up), so I was suddenly no longer able to access all the data on the drives in my mi-dtower PC case, two of which are EIDE, aka the older type of hard drive that is rapidly being ushered into obsolescence for SATA drives and (SSD) solid state drives.Wanting to be able to access that data again with my laptop, especially some precious digitized audio recordings of my late grandparents, I looked for a docking station that could handle either the SATA or EIDE drives, but all but one of those docking stations of that sort only have USB 2.0 connectivity.USB 2.0 isn't totally inviable, but why limit transfer rates when much quicker can be achieved?This docking station is the only docking station that works with both SATA and EIDE drives that also has USB 3.0 connectivity, so the clear choice was this one, namely for the roughly 10x higher transfer speed.I'm a Linux user, so I didn't even bother with the mini CD-ROM that came packaged with the docking station, a good thing because that disk was somehow shattered.My priority was to see how this works with EIDE drives, because that's where my recordings are and because there is just a bit more involved with using those.The first thing I wanted to mention for those who haven't read the product description thoroughly is that it explicitly states that this docking station is incompatible with Western Digital EIDE drives (possibly because of the power plug orientation), although it should still work just fine with their SATA drives.All of my EIDE drives are either Maxtor or Seagate, so I had no such restrictions.Now, it's important that I explain that the EIDE drive power connector for this docking station inside the slot for the EIDE drive is movable to compensate for slight differences in how far from the data socket the power socket can be from one drive to another.The slider for this power connector is on the bottom of the docking station, so I gently placed my Maxtor EIDE drive in the bay (didn't force it!), then started carefully and slowly sliding the power connector until I could feel it engage with the drive's power socket, then I gently pushed down on the top of the drive until it snapped firmly down on both the data and power connectors.I then plugged everything in and powered it on with the rocker switch on the back of the docking station..Linux initially recognized the drive, but it didn't automatically create its own device file that's essential for mounting any drive.I was stumped until I thought of the jumper on the drive itself that determines whether it's a master, slave, or using Cable Select.Powering down the docking station, then removing the drive from it, I saw that it was jumpered for cable select, so I switched the jumper over to put it as master, then put the drive back in the docking station, and powered it back up.Bingo!Linux recognized the drive and automatically created its device file, just as it should.I mounted the drive, and I could then see all that I files on it.That's the key information to have for anyone wanting to use this with an EIDE drive: make sure that you have your drive jumpered as master.I checked transfer rates, and they're just what I would expect from a USB 3.0 device, without a single glitch or error.Wanting to see if it would handle two drives simultaneously, I powered it down, then inserted an SATA drive (no adjustment necessary...literal plug and play here) to go with my Maxtor EIDE drive, then powered it back on.Linux recognized both drives at the same time perfectly, and I was able to mount both and transfer back and forth to my laptop's hard drive, as well as back and forth between the EIDE and SATA drives.The docking station is constructed of plastic, but solid, and it includes an AC adapter and a USB 3.0 cable.It's also worth commenting that the advantage of a docking station over an external drive enclosure is that the docking station doesn't require a single hand tool, allowing you to instantly switch from one drive to another.An excellent product well worth the money.

Works well as advertised.  It has an movable plug attachment for IDE drives that's handy when things don't exactly line up.
