This is the least expensive dual SATA drive dock on Amazon by $7. The usual price for a dual dock is $25+ and a single bay dock is $20+.

I would suspect it would work fine in these (most) scenarios:
- 1 drive (2.5 or 3.5, any RPM)
- 2 drives (1 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" laptop/SSD)
- 2 drives (3.5" 5400 RPM / eco drives)
I would suspect it could get errors or show only one drive to the OS if you tried to use a 3.5" 7200 RPM drive along with another 3.5" drive whether 5400 or 7200 rpm. In that scenario, use a bigger 12 volt power supply on this that is rated at 3000 mA or higher. This will likely use the standard 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm plug size.EDIT: The price on this jumped to $24.99 within 20 minutes of posting it as a deal. They must be using a bot to adjust the price on demand. This $12.99 price was in place since July 5th according to the Price History link. My only suggestion is to keep watching for it to drop again.
EDIT #2: This is a good candidate for Prime members to use "auto-buy". If you aren't familiar with it, look for the "Add to Auto Buy" button on the right side price box near the bottom. Click it and you can set an automatic purchase at a target price. It should autofill with the $12.99 price and you just need to set an expiration date and select "Create auto-purchase" at the bottom. If it drops again, you will be among the first to get one.
FYI the $12.99 price is back.

I did receive the dock today and everything is fine. It uses the ASMedia 1156 chipset just like 2 other dual docks I have. Both drives are accessible and I tested with 2 x 7200 rpm Hitachi 2TB data center drives. They started up without a problem. Even so, at idle they are taking 21 watts and the power adapter is only capable of 30 watts, so you can see especially during spinup these may briefly take more than the adapter can handle. The 1156 chipset mentions that it does a staggered start, one then the other.
Benchmarks are as I expected, USB 3.0 about 150 MB/second throughput. I'm doing a clone now to a known drive with bad sectors, just to see what happens. (I would NEVER trust a clone on any of these devices anyway, just do it on a computer and be sure)
