Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is my 4th startech item i have purchased over the last 8 years. Their post sales tech support is rare nowadays, and this value added service for an out of warranty item is what makes startech such a great company. This device is simple awesome!

Quality

It produces an accurately cloned and working disk every time.

An excellent solution to create offline storage of project data sets with a 100% mirror.

This double dock/duplicator heats up hard drives even more than the single docks without fans do.

Customer service was quick to diagnose and sent a replacement (2 year warranty).

I did not initialize--and that was not necessary with the wavlink (less expensive but more cheaply built) product.

I tried acronis, disk drill, aomei and none of them would allow the 20 tb clone to expand to the full 20 tb.
