Vantec NexStar NST-D200SU 2.5-Inch/3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0/eSATA Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item, since I thought this was one of the best-looking dual HDD docking station.
After an easy installation, I set it up for my Mac Mini.The item included everything you would need for installation.

While running with Mac, the installed HDDs did not enter to the "spin-down" mode, and both HDDs were overheated.
(I specifically checked the option "spin-down when not used" on from Preferences of OS X.)
This morning I was really surprised to find that both HDDs were still too hot to touch, even though I turned off the Mac Mini before I went to bed.I usually leave the power of docking stations on, since they enter to auto "power-down" mode.But this one didn't, unfortunately.

USB and eSATA worked fine, but who knows how long it will take to ruin my new 1TB HDDs and I decided to return it for something else.
If you want a dual docking station which looks good on your desk, maybe you will like this one.
For others, if you do not need a "USB hand warmer" on your desk, docking stations which provide auto spin-down after powering off are always recommended.
