[Sorry, forget to add this link!] http://www.kingwin.com/storage/docking-stations/ezd-2535u3-2/ It works very well, and the newer models have a "one-touch cloning" feature. The only problem I ever had was that the hard drives themselves tend to overheat, especially in warm weather (because they are not inside the chassis with a fan blowing on them). Sometimes I would even take the overheated hard drive and set it inside my freezer for a little while to cool down, because they would get HOT to the touch. Solution: get a powerful fan, and set your docking station directly in front of it. However, you don't want to use this full-time, but only for plugging in and transferring files, backups or cloning a partition, etc. You shouldn't, for example, try to watch films from a hard drive plugged into your docking staton.
