Sharkoon USB 3.0 Dual HDD Double-decker Docking (Conjoined Twin) Station

Single drive docking stations are so pedestrian. Sharkoon's new USB 3.0 docking station really has a pair.... of hard drives. This USB 3.0 docking station has 2 slots for 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA hard drives. Both drives are cradled inside the base station, and can be powered on and off individually. Driverless, they will show up as mass storage devices as soon as they are powered on. Each bay has an eject button as well to assist in removal. The dual-drive docking station uses a discrete USB 3.0 interface for each drive presumably for power and maximum bandwidth or they might have just been lazy. This gives you a total of 2 distinct devices connected to your PC requiring 2 cables.

This new entrant from Sharkoon is one of the first to gain motherboard manufacturer, Gigabyte's seal of approval. Gigabyte has certified that this product will work well with their new line USB 3.0 enabled motherboards and PCIe card. This double-decker docking station will only cost you about $60 and 2 sets of USB 3.0 cables. It's available for order now if you are tempted.
