I bought this dock because it claims Windows, Mac AND linux support - all without drivers.The problem is, it doesn't work on any of these operating systems. A 2TB disk formated FAT32 is recognized instantly by Windows 10 when in the Cable Matters dock, but moving the same drive to the Salcar dock gives me nothing. Windows is not even recognizing the device. Same thing for exFAT, and same situation for linux.The one I received is really just a hard drive holder with a cable on it. I will certainly be returning it. Maybe I received a dud - there are a lot of positive reviews here - but QA needs to know that it's failing.I can't give more than 1 star for a product that doesn't do anything it's supposed to do (besides hold 2 hard drives and I can do that with a few Lego blocks).[UPDATE]The company contacted me after I had returned the item, and offered to send me another if I would try it again. The new dock arrived, and it works flawlessly. I've used it in Windows 10, Linux, MacOS... I even hung it off my QNAP NAS and it was recognized and both drives were available inside QTS. This is exactly what I originally purchased the unit for... a device that I could hang off every machine in my home!Clearly the 1st device I received was a dud, as it could not be recognized by any of my machines (Win10, Linux, MacOS), so I'm holding off 1 star for QA failings. That said, customer service is clearly proactive and I would purchase from this company again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Cloned my 500MB MBP HDD to SSD effortlessly *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017* I was originally set out for a dumb dual bay adapter so I would use software to clone my 500MB MBP HDD to SSD. I didn't know that there were low cost offline duplicator exist until I saw that there were numerous such products for sale in Amazon. This one is one of the lowest cost I could find anywhere.I tested it on my Windows 10 machine. No driver was needed so I was able to use it immediately. I didn't use any tool to make any throughput measurements, but it felt reasonably fast using my USB 3.0 hub.Finally, back to the real reason I needed this device. I cloned my 500MB HDD to a new 512MB SSD last night. The process took about an hour and it was absolutely no thrill and completely offline. I installed the newly cloned SSD in the machine and it started up immediately like it normally does everyday -- except that it is starting much faster now! My MBP is much more responsive now!If you need to clone your disks or just want to add extra hard drive bays, and you are still contemplating, don't! Just buy this thing! This thing has proven that it is a good product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price, great value and performance. *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017* Absolutely awesome, saved my data while on vacation! Recently was on vacation and my personal laptop started giving the blue screen of death. The HDD was going bad, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to boot the computer again. Ordered a replacement drive and this dock which also operates as a standalone cloning station. Put the dying drive in bay 1, the replacement drive in bay 2, and pressed the copy button. About an hour later, the status showed 100% complete. I installed the replacement clone drive into my laptop and booted it up. The clone process was so exact, that the first boot on the new drive was a memory dump and restart from the original drive's BSOD error! After the reboot, laptop booted perfectly and has been running great ever since. After that I cloned a failing SATA hard drive to a solid state hybrid drive. The cloning process worked perfectly again, and that laptop now runs cooler and quieter. It was my first try at replacing a SATA HDD with a SSHD, I was surprised that it was so easy with this dock/cloner. Well worth the price, saved my data and much frustration. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/42740171-salcar-usb-3-0-to-sata-2-bay-usb-3](https://www.desertcart.it/products/42740171-salcar-usb-3-0-to-sata-2-bay-usb-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
