Very good product

Cumple completamente con la expectativa, funcional y el mejor precio, recomendado

I had returned a couple of other docking stations that were MUCH more expensive than this one but this one works very well for me, with some minor problems that are acceptable or can be worked around. I'm very happy with it for now and expect I will be for quite a while.

The basic functionality is very good (not great transfer speeds, but good enough). The auto shut-off feature (which I"m not a fan of) works very well; it causes a delay when the disk has to be (automatically) powered back up after a period of non-use, but has never caused any application errors or aborts (which I did have with some of the other docking stations). And the power switch is a BIG plus, for when I won't be using the device for a while.

The ability to clone other disks might be useful in the future, but was not a significant reason for me to try (and keep) this this device; it does its basic job very well and better than many other unit that are 5 times more expensive.

One very significant problem is that the (exposed) disk drive(s) can get VERY hot. I have a small USB powered fan in front of the device that seems to take care of that heat very well and is not at all noisy. I expect that some of the other external USB drives with encased disk drives and no fan have the same heat problem but it is just not apparent. (I need the disk drives to last a very long time, so the heat dissipation is a major concern of mine.)

I'm very satisfied with this unit, for now and the near and perhaps medium future. I'm also sold on the utility of being able to insert new or different 2.5" and 3.5" disk drives into a "docking station". I inetnd to replace this unit, sometime in the future, with one that supports encased disk drives and includes a fan; and so the ability to just move the disk drives to that new unit whenever I am ready to is a VERY big benefit to me.

I highly recommend this unit as an economical and flexible way to add external (disk) drives and upgrading the drive capacity when needed. I know I'm currently stuck with "old-school" rotating disks (and slower than SSD drive transfer speed), but the transfer speeds of this unit, with the USB C 3.2 interface, are fine for backup and secondary storage uses.
