Works quite well. Well made. Fast shipping. Review: A Must & Works Perfectly - Make sure you opt for the latest version of the Sabrent Hard Drive Disc Dock. The USB “C” version is the latest. The unit works perfectly. It recognized the 2TB target drive immediately. I used the dock to clone my PC C Drive. Now, if my C Drive crashes or locks up I only have to swap out the drives and I’m up and running. You can also copy from one drive to another off line - simple as pressing a button. I keep all my personal files on my internal D Drive. I’ll copy those over to a backup drive soon using the Sargent Dock. ## Features - OFFLINE CLONER, NO COMPUTER NEEDED: Copy one SATA drive to another at the press of a button, up to 60MBps, with the dock unplugged from any PC. Target drive must be the same size as the source or larger. - READS AND WRITES TWO DRIVES AT ONCE: Both bays mount as separate drives when connected to a computer over USB, so you can move files between them or work off both. Hot-swappable, tool-free, with an HDD access LED per bay. - SATA ONLY, 2.5in AND 3.5in: Fits bare 2.5in and 3.5in SATA hard drives and SATA SSDs. It does NOT support IDE/PATA drives, drives with a 4-pin Molex power connector, M.2 or NVMe drives, and drives are not included. - WHAT COMES IN THE BOX: Docking station, power adapter and a USB Type-C cable. The cable is USB-C on the dock end - check your computer has a USB-C port or add your own USB-C to USB-A cable before you order. - USB 3.0 SPEEDS UP TO 5GBPS: Plug and play on Windows and Mac with no drivers to install. Real-world speed is set by the drives you fit - a mechanical hard drive will not reach 5Gbps, and offline cloning runs up to 60MBps by design. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09646W9PX | | Best Sellers Rank | #3 in Hard Drive Docking Stations #26 in Enclosures | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | User manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,635 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840025252165 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | USB Type C | | Hardware Platform | Windows | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4"L x 2.7"W x 6.2"H | | Item Type Name | computer-drive-enclosures | | Item Weight | 10 ounces | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Material | Plastic | | Memory Storage Capacity | 40 TB | | Mfr Part Number | EC-CH2B | | Model Number | EC-CH2B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 4"L x 2.7"W x 6.2"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 2 | | UPC | 840025252165 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB Type C - **Hardware Platform:** Windows - **Product Dimensions:** 4"L x 2.7"W x 6.2"H ## Images ![SABRENT Dual-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Docking Station & Cloner (EC-CH2B) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614FKVpm+oL.jpg) ![SABRENT Dual-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Docking Station & Cloner (EC-CH2B) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GYzfj+I7S.jpg) ![SABRENT Dual-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Docking Station & Cloner (EC-CH2B) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WHzhUhHGS.jpg) ![SABRENT Dual-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Docking Station & Cloner (EC-CH2B) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613TwyStmUS.jpg) ![SABRENT Dual-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Docking Station & Cloner (EC-CH2B) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C5lujl6cS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i access two hard drives at once with this device or does it switch from one to the other?** A: Yes, you'll be able to access both drives at the same time. You can also use Offline Cloning from 1 drive to another. **Q: Supports hard drives up to 10TB really?, I can't find any specification on the web site** A: Our EC-HD2B will work well with 20TB drives. It has recently been tested and validated to work with native 4K sector drives including ones that are up to 20TB in capacity per bay **Q: would this station allow one drive to handle time machine backups and the other drive separately handle playback of audio files?** A: Yes. Both drives appear as two separate volumes accessible independently. **Q: Can this be used to format a drive or is it just a cloning device?** A: Think of this device as an external hard drive. The difference is you get to plug in internal drives to it and work with them however you desire. If you buy a new, unformatted, unpartitioned HDD (which is standard), you will go to DiskManagement in Windows and initialize the drive for use. I like this device especially for backing up and cloning drives. Acronis True Image 2021 is my current tool of choice for these options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SSD HELP FOR YOR COMPUTER REPAIRS *by G***G on August 10, 2026* Excellent product.
