WEme USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station with Offline Clone/Duplicator Function for 2.5 & 3.5 Inch HDD SSD SATA (SATA I/II/III) Support 2X 8TB & UASP, Tool-Free

So far, I have only used this product once and that was to perform an offline clone with no connection to the PC. Everything went perfectly.Below I will provide a step by step guide of what I did if anyone is looking for a comprehensive resource. I am not responsible for anything you might do with this knowledge. Be aware I am only talking about using machines with like machines (Mac and Mac or windows and windows) and drives that are already in the same format. You can look elsewhere for a guide on that by googling “How to format hard drive Mac/Windows” and these articles will often include information about what the different formats mean for your practical use and in what situations you should choose which.1) Gathered my hard drives. For this I was cloning my 256 GB SSD that hosts my important programs and Operating System onto a brand new 1 TB SSD.2) Put both drives into the dock. Power should be turned “OFF” when inserting and removing drives or you run the risk of corrupting and losing your data.Remember when cloning that the original has to go into slot A and the new target drive needs to go in slot B. The arrows will help indicate the flow of the transfer of data. The new drive must be bigger. You might be able to get away with the same size but you can be risking it as not all drives, even in the same class, are created equal.3) Turn Power “ON.” Power button should be pushed in. The power indicator LED will glow a solid green and the LEDs next to each drive should glow yellow.4) Hold the “clone” button for approximately 3 seconds. The blue led indicator by “100%” should begin to glow. Press the clone button again. If you waited too long and the blue light disappeared, nothing will happen, everything will look the same as it did before pressing the clone button. In this case, again hold the clone button briefly, and when you see the blue LED light up, press the button immediately.At this point the blue LED indicator next to “25%” will flash rapidly to indicate progress. It will glow solid when it has completed each of the milestones “25%” “50%” “75%” and begin rapidly flashing the following milestone’s LED. Cloning is complete when all lights have been solid for two minutes or turned themselves off.5) Turn the dock’s power off. The new drive is ready to be installed wherever you meant for it to go.6) If like me, you copied an internal drive (though this should work for external drives as well) that was smaller to a bigger one you will still need to complete some steps on the software side of things.7A) On Windows, right click on the windows icon in the bottom left and click on disk management. Here, you will see whatever drives you have connected to your computer. Be careful to select the right one if you have multiples as you risk of deleting, formatting, damaging, corrupting, etc any other drive if trying to work with them, though windows often will have pop ups to warn you away from doing anything too stupid.The cloned drive will have an amount of unallocated space equal to difference between the original and target drive (in my case about 750 GBs between a 250 GB and 1TB drive). Right click on the space that is currently available for use and select expand. Windows will pop up explaining about what’s happening, and that it can only use simple volumes or unallocated space for the expansion. If you accept and everything went correctly, you should find the drive back at its original size and all your cloned files in the same space and place. This meant my operating system was just fine, all my setting were exactly as they were before the clone, my programs were still present and useable, and I have way more space available on the drive.7B) On MAC use the pre-installed application “disk utility” to examine your drive. Similarly to windows, select the correct drive and expand it.

Not really much to say. It's cheap, simple to use, and does not have the issue of stealth changing a hard drive's sector size that certain docking stations do. Overall, it was a good purchase.

I have had this WEme docking station for 3 months now. It is easy to use and does just what it says it will do. I recently came into possession of multiple laptops and internal hard drives. I simply plug in the power cord and attached the USB cord to my desktop computer and voila, all contents are available to me including the contents of drives from computers to which I do not know the Windows password. Later, after resetting all of the laptops which erased the non-windows files on the drives, I used the docking station to clone one of my 2.5 inch drives which now used the word "password" for the password. I placed the drive to be cloned in slot A and the blank drive (it does not need to be blank but mine were) in slot B. Then I pushed the power button in the back of the docking station. The green power light came on along with the amber dock lights for slots A and B. I then followed instructions and held the Clone button until the blue 100 percent light came on. I let go of the Clone button then pressed it again. This time the 100 percent light went out and the blue 25 percent light began flashing. The cloning process had begun. As the process exceeded 25 percent, that blue light held steady and the 50 percent blue light began flashing. This continued until the 100 percent blue light held steady. I now had 2 identical 500GB 2.5 inch internal hard drives. I read several reviews stating that this product does not work. I suggest that these people read the instructions and remember to push the power button on the back of the docking station. If you should ever need to be able to read an external hard drive you need this device. There is none cheaper.

Truly working as it should. Very satisfiedThank you!

SI me gusto, porque es muy portátil y funciona muy bien

Very practical and convenient disk unit. Allow easy and fast connection of two 3.5 desktop hard-disk to a laptop. Can also use smaller 2.5 hard-disk or SSD drive. Slightly faster cloning one drive to another one instead of using 2 USB ports. The standalone cloning feature is very useful as you can clone without using the computer.*The documentation indicates that the target drive capacity must be higher. However, I tested cloning disks of exact same size and it worked perfectly. If you clone to a larger disk you will need to extend the target partition to be able to use all the higher capacity of the target disk.*The plastic door has tendency to get stuck when removing the large 3.5 disk. Just push the door downward.*Ensure the unit is off when installing drives and plug the USB cable before turning on the unit.Before removing drives turn off the unit and wait a few seconds to ensure standard hard disk have stop spinning.*Normally, after cloning, the target disk will have the exact same UniqueID (GUID) as the source drive. If you try to connect these 2 disks simultaneously Windows will set one of the drives Offline. To be able to connect these 2 disks at the same time you must reset the GUID on one of the disks (search on the web “Disk Signature Collision”).

Muy buena velocidad de transferencia! Muy recomendable!

un muy buen producto, llevo dos meses usándolo con discos externos 2.5 y 3.5 y todo muy bien hasta el momento habrá que ver su duración.
