I'm seeing on minimal 60% improvements and some even more.

I know the sale is over, but just wanted to reply - the Sabrent is pretty much the same thing. Don't worry about all the talk about cloning a bad drive - that went off topic really fast as this is...

It has 351 reviews and a 4.5 star on amazon. I know reviews aren't 100% reliable or legit (hence Fakespot), but it could have been possible you got a faulty caddy/docking station.

I have had issues using Unitek products. Their Docking Station is very unstable (unmount by itself occasionally), USB hub keeps crushing computer. I will never buy this brand.

Would something like this Sabrent EC-HD2B be a better alternative or were you just talking about having a drive with a bad sector?

Was going to get one of these, but I have a few seagate and WD external drive interface circuit boards that I plan on hot swapping all my drives with. Hopefully they'll read my 8tb drives.

For a laptop an external device is only option. https://www.amazon.com/Drive-Adapter-Cable-Support-Black/dp/B07S9CKV7X/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2E3LKZF2LLPFU... This will only work for 2.5" laptop hard drive.

No soldering. In fact they sell boards that are like pcie cards but use the internal connectors for data and power and have ports on the back for esata and power. So if you want a clean look you...
