Question: How long can I use it without producing any damage to the hard disk. Does it provide ventilation (refrigeration) to the internal hard disk?
Document: Transfer speeds over my computer's native USB 3.0 port were about 100 MB/s. That's pretty good even for an internal hard disk. The speed was identical when I used akdLinks USB 3.0 7 Ports Huband that's for a different review :) . I've had a USB 2.0 dock for a while and the time savings in the first couple of uses pays for this upgrade.This dock comes with 39" (guess it's supposed to be 1 meter?)
This the perfect hard drive holder , I use it for a large HDD to expand my PVR capacity and so far is been working great and get to save HD quality recording without woorying about running out of room . It does run a bit warm sometimes .
This is a great little device. It can be used for data storage, for large file transfer, etc. Actually, I am going to use it for my server backup. This way, all I need is several pieces of SATA drives. That will save huge on the cost for external hard drive. For the same amount of money, I could get many smaller "internal" drives.
This is an EXCELLENT product for people who have hadmany problems with external hard drive USB connection. This a greatproduct to be use with standard internal Hard Drive.Highly recommended.Victor RDallas, TX
It also works on SSDs.Installation on Windows7 Pro 64GB was without any problems, just plugged it in to one of the USB3 ports and the system recognized the drive dock right away.Have not tried on my Macbook Pro etc but should work fine.I used this dock with a very old Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 HDD which is SATA 1.5 120GB that I use to store my downloaded files and a WD 2.0 TB SATA3 drive. WD20EARS.
The docking station works very well, and is nicely designed. A USB 3.0 cable is included, which is appreciated. One minor negative - this docking station does not appear to work with new Seagate SSHD disk drives when using the eSATA interface. SSHD drives are hybrid drives that use a small solid state memory together with a magnetic drive to improve speed. The SSHD drives appear to work with the USB 3.0 interface, but not with the eSATA interface.
This drive dock is a great tool for using internal SATA drives as USB drives for backups. It can support upto 3TB drives. I have several internal HDDs that I use for backing up my media files, data and downloaded material. I have an older dock that cannot handle the newer high capacity drives. I also have 2 HDD enclosures that requires one to open the container and insert the HDD.
I  used this unit to test a suspect 1tb hard drive that came out of a raid array. I was tired of the plugin converters that I have and thought this might make life easier. Drive fits snugly in the housing and the unit is recognized without any need to install drivers.
This same exact docking station is sold on Amazon By Ankerdirect for 39.99. I'm not sure who the actual manufacturer is, but it is a very nice docking station. I have move tons of data between my computer & other hard-drives without it missing a beat. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is cheaper with the other brand name on it.
Internal hard drives are great, but when your desktop or laptop doesn&#8217;t have space for the drives, you have to deal with an external dock or enclosure.
Answer: It has ventilation, in that it is not covered by any type of shroud or covering.  However, this is passive cooling, as it is just open to the air, not actively cooled by a fan.  Also, the lower part of the hard drive, where it connects to the docking station is covered and will receive less passive cooling.  If you want this to be an always-on solution, I don't think this is the best choice, and you should look for something with an active cooling solution.
