I was very careful when changing the drives, and I did not experience any problems.Anker 575 USB-C Docking Station (13-in-1), 135W Power Adapter, USB-C to USB-C cable (3 ft), welcome guide.

If the pins within the socket become bent, or loose, then all sorts of problems can manifest. How well this docking station performs and its reliability very much depends upon the IDE connection and the reliability of the socket. I had some very old Western Digital drives from the year 2000 and one drive gave me problems however, I doubt anyone will be using a drive as old as that today.Īlthough some of the sellers are describing the operation of this docking station as 'plug and play hot-swappable', it is better to power down the drive and docking station before changing it, otherwise you could end up inflicting serious damage to the drive electronics. Almost all drive manufacturers follow the same design standards, consequently the IDE and power sockets are usually in the same place, and fit properly with their respective plug counterparts on the docking station. The majority of the ones I used were old and smaller capacity, however they seemed to work fine. Working in IT, I had many drives I could test.
