The Plugable USB 3.1 Gen 2 SATA Vertical Hard Drive Dock is a high-performance storage solution for professionals who need quick, reliable access to 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives. With USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds up to 10Gbps, this dock is perfect for data-intensive tasks like cloning, backing up, or retrieving files from old drives.
Powered by the ASMedia 1351E chipset, the dock supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for significantly faster read/write speeds compared to traditional BOT (Bulk-Only Transport). This means less time waiting for large file transfers, especially when working with SSDs.
Connect via USB-C or USB-A (using the included cable) to Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS. The dock works with both SATA HDDs and SSDs, automatically detecting drive size and format. It also supports drive cloning with software like Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla.
The dock automatically puts drives to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity or when the host computer enters a power-saving mode, reducing power consumption and heat generation. A physical on/off switch lets you power down completely when not in use—protecting the drive and saving energy.
The upright vertical orientation takes up minimal desk space and promotes airflow around the drive for cooler operation. A blue LED indicator shows drive activity, so you know when data is being accessed.

Yes, you can use cloning software like Macrium Reflect (Windows) or Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac) to clone drives. The dock provides fast, reliable access for cloning tasks.
Transfer speed depends on the drive type (SSD vs HDD), its health, and the host USB controller. Ensure you're using a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port and that the drive supports UASP for maximum performance.
The dock supports standard SATA drives. It does not support IDE/PATA drives or drives with proprietary connectors. Also, the dock may not work with Apple SuperDrive optical drives.
This dock is great. I use it to clone drives and access old hard drives. It's plug-and-play on Windows, and the speeds are excellent – I get about 500MB/s with an SSD. The vertical design saves space, and it supports both 2.5 and 3.5-inch drives without tools. Highly recommended.
I've had this dock for a few weeks now. It's solidly built and works with both my SSD and HDD. The USB-C cable is a plus, and it's fast. The only downside is that the LED indicator is a bit bright, and the power button is easily pressed accidentally. Also, when I use it with my MacBook, I had to format my drives differently. But overall, it does the job.
I bought this dock to backup my desktop's drives. It's very easy to use: just slide the drive in and plug it in. The speed is great, and it recognizes my drives instantly. I've had no issues with it. The build quality is good, and it doesn't take up too much desk space. Definitely worth the money.
I've had this dock for a couple of months. It works, but I've experienced random disconnects when I'm transferring large files. The drive will just disappear from Windows and then reappear. I've tried different cables and ports, but the issue persists. It's not too frequent, but it's annoying. Other than that, the speed is fine.
This is a solid dock. It's a bit larger than expected, but it holds drives securely. Speeds are good, and it's compatible with both USB-C and USB-A via the included cable. I like that it comes with a power adapter. It's done everything I've asked without a problem. Just wish it were a bit more compact.
This dock is fantastic. I've used it to access old drives from my PC and to backup important files. It's fast, reliable, and plug-and-play on both Windows and macOS. The vertical design is nice because it doesn't clutter my desk. Highly recommend it to anyone needing a drive dock.
The dock itself works great. It's fast and recognizes my drives without issues. However, the USB cable that comes with it is only about 30cm long, which is a bit short for my setup. I had to buy a longer one. But that's a minor annoyance. The dock is sturdy and does its job.
