OWC Drive Dock USB-C Dual Drive Bay-oplossing, USB 3.1 Gen 2, voor Mac en PC, (OWCTCDRVDCK)

Je n’avais jamais envisagé mettre un budget supérieur à 100€ pour un dock, mais la fabrication et les performances sont très au-dessus des autres concurrents : une vraie Rolls donc : cher mais il les vaut.Mise à jour septembre 2023 :Aucun problème : le boîtier est solide et durable!

Not a long term review, and I'll update if any issues....Bought primarily to replace a slow HDD dock, and it is certainly quick with USB 3.2 Gen 2, it can transfer @ upto 10mbps.Another useful feature was the ability to switch off each drive separately, a royal pain normally if you have 2 HDDs mounted and have to switch the whole unit off in almost all other docks to remove/swap one disk.Quality, OK it is not cheap (much like Apple kit), but you get what you pay for 'generally' and it looks very well made, they have gone way further than what is needed to do the job.Just one thing that most dual docks have is the offline clone facility, it does not have this, it wasn't something I wanted, especially after 'someone who will remain nameless' hit the button once on my other dock and caused me a lot of grief.So, to sum up, built like a tank, great quality, this company care about making a solid product and it shows. Just look at the thickness of the aluminium casing in the second photo.Also, if you are an apple 'fanboy' and I'm a recent convert after many years with Windows PCs, It rocks next to my Mac Studio.

I had bought another dock a Sabrent with the ASMedia 1352R which has to reload both drives if one is pulled out taking up to 10-30 seconds or never re-initializing, this for me completely ruined my productivity sorting out 32-35 hard drives of varying sizes and capacity.This thing while not perfect is miles better having 2 independent ASMedia 1351 Chips one of each drive and a VL820 USB 3.1 Gen 2 bridge to tie them both together.The speeds are ALMOST SATA 3 6-Gbps, not all the way there but compared to the other dock I had the speed when running benchmarks drop to 200MB/s or less while this OWC dock sustains around 450-500 while bench-marking two SSD drives at the same time. I tested Two 128GB MLC drives and one 240GB MLC in a few benchmarks simultaneously like ATTO and Crystal disk mark, it performed very well and could not ask for much more.OWC like both struggles with Mixed random Read/Write not getting up to true Sata III speed, Still more consistent than the Sebrent but it's almost on point for Sequential Read/Write with just under the max 550 Read/Write.This thing is well build enough a far cry from the other dock feeling heavy enough not to get pulled off my desk and not having any catching issues with my hard drives getting stuck on the flaps.The two power on/off buttons while nice are a bit cheap feeling a shame since other wise this thing is built well enough inside and out, having good quality SMD aluminum caps inside and a decent looking PCB, the PSU on the other hand is nothing special, just a generic 65 watt PSU more than enough to power both drives with no problems.You may want to get a little desk fan or rig a pc fan to keep things cool over long sessions of use.If I had to sum up how I feel using this thing it's, it works very well, has some minor problems with QC my aluminum has a pitted defect, but overall it's miles better than anything else out there, I'd like to see better but this is the best right now. So if you need a dock and have a lot of hard drives or SSD's to work with get this dock, you will not be disappointed with the overall performance.After using this dock I would never go back to cheap docks that just don't work right, get one if you have a lot of hard drives or need speeds that are overall consistent on both USB-C 10-Gigabit and usable on 5-Gigabit USB 3.0. with both drives copy/reading constantly.

Nach einer katastrophalen Erfahrung mit einer Dualschacht Dockingstation von RSHTECH (Modell ‎DE-RSH-DS02), die reihenweise die Dateisysteme von Festplatten korrumpiert hat, bin ich auf dieses Juwel der Firma OWC gestoßen.Die Station ist sehr robust, wertig verarbeitet und nimmt 3,5er und 2,5er SATA HDDs sowie SSDs auf. Das Netzteil ist im Gehäuse integriert, weswegen dieses schon etwas größer ausfällt.Beide Schächte verfügen über separate Geräteschalter und werkeln unabhängig mit Asmedia ASM1151 USB-SATA Bridges und Labs Vl820 USB 3.1.Gen 2 (10 gbps) Controller.Anbei ein Crystalmark Performance Benchmark der OWC Dockingstation mit einer Samsung SSD 870 EVO angeschlossen an einem 10 Gb/s USB-PC-Port. Die SSD wird von Samsung mit max. 560 MB/s Lese-, 530 MB/s Schreibgeschwindigkeit beworben ... da geht schon was!!! :-)Die OWC Dockingstation ist jetzt seit über 6 Wochen hier im täglichen Einsatz und versieht rocksolide ihre Funktion. Dafür vergebe ich die volle Punktzahl und kann das Produkt sehr empfehlen.

Finally! This is awesome - each slot is treated as two completely independent slots - each with the own power, and most importantly, each able to be ejected individually from the computer. Unlike every other dock I have tried, which have to have the power shut off to the entire unit (and therefore any other drives in use) in order to swap a drive. Bravo - this is fantastic, exactly what I was looking for. And bonus - the power supply in incorporated into the unit, so no power bricks lying around!
