Hi everybody,
I am looking for a docking station that can work with 2.5 & 3.5 Sata hard drives. I need to recover information from a laptop and a desktop. Can anyone recommend a good docking station that would work with 2.5 & 3.5 hard drives. It is has to be dual?
I would appreciate your help

Hi rimanere, here are a couple links to give you some ideas. Maybe just consider if your PC is eSATA capable, or just USB 2.0, as far as what to look for, and it's transfer speeds.

Here is a popular one from Newegg that is only UBS compatible. http://www.newegg.co...3-066-_-Product

Here is another one that is both eSATA, and USB compatible. http://www.newegg.co...3-071-_-Product

Also consider what size drive it can handle listed in the spec. info. Also helpful are the customer reviews.
Hope this gives you some ideas. :)

This is what I use: http://eshop.macsale...Hard_Drive_Dock

I have one with eSATA, USB, Firewire 400, and Firewire 800...and one with just USB and eSATA.

smax, you always come up with these nice alternative web sites, like the one you found for my internal 2.5 dock, I had never heard of Star Tech before.
I like the style and look of the Voyager, as it faces you the narrow way, compared to the Thermaltake that faces across, and looks more like a black toaster, yet the Voyager looks like it had the toaster pop up lever, lol, yet it looks nice. :)
