Unitek Y-1064 Firewire 800/400/USB 2.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station for Macs & PCs

• Faulty Docks Wednesday 16 November, 2011
  By BRUNOMERCERE
  

  About 2 months ago I ordered 3 of this docks.\r\nAfter receiving and plugging them on out of 3 worked fine. The 2 others would only mount my HDDs using USB then, after less than a week of use they stopped working.\r\n\r\nAlso, very strange, the INVOICE I received was stablished for 15€ only (while I paid around 126€) and there was written \"SAMPLE - No commercial value\". \r\n\r\nAfter several weeks waiting for an answer as I sent a message explaining this situation I\'ve decided to make this post. Let\'s see if ESPOW will end up answering and making the refund for this faulty items.\r\n\r\nOff course, I gave 5 stars to this just to make sure this post will not be filtered.

  Dear BRUNOMERCERE
  
  Dear BRUNO MERCERE,\r\n \r\nWe noticed that you posted two comments on our website saying the items (Unitek Y-1064 Firewire 800/400/USB 2.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station) stopped working and also the invoice was not correct. \r\n \r\nActually, we received your email on 21, sept and also replied you, maybe you did not receive it. We will also enclose the email record for your reference. Now we are trying to send you this email with another emailbox. Would you mind telling us in detail how the items could not work? Did you mean all the 3 docking stations could not work? \r\n \r\nFor the invoice problem, it is possible that our colleague made a mistake and wrote the wrong amount. We will make the correct invoice and enclose it for your reference. You may kindly check the attachment. \r\n \r\nLooking forward to your reply.

  the dock does not support 3 TB drives. Also sometimes it does not reactivate the drive from sleep mode. The firmware of the controller is not very reliable.

  I order it from Brazil. It took 20 days to get here, but I did received it. The brazilian post office didn\'t charge me any additional taxes, and the device works perfectly.

  This works almost perfectly(only flaw is it doesn\'t refill my coffee mug when empty)\r\n\r\nActually, this little gadget works so well I just ordered another one.\r\nWe\'re using the FW800 option to connect.

• Supported Win 7 Tuesday 20 July, 2010
  By Sean Portnoy
  

  The hdd docking bay also works pretty well in Win 7. Reads and writes are fast and responsive. I did not have any problem reading my FAT32 and NTFS disks. And for the price it can\'t be beat. Highly recommend.

• USB in Front Thursday 15 July, 2010
  By Heinz Brockhoff
  

  The USB Plugs in front don\'t work. Do I have to connect the\r\nDocking Station to another USB Cable ?

• very happy with this little device Monday 12 July, 2010
  By Joel Evans
  

  Fast delivery to UK from Espow. Thanks for executing the order without any hitch. I received the perfectly packed shippment. For those Home users who grow their data exponentionally, it is a perfect little device. Unit works very well and speeds via 1394b are amazing. I am very happy with this little device.

• Great product, great value. Thursday 08 July, 2010
  By Jakob
  

  What this little gem does is take much of the hassle out of putting in a new drive or swapping any SATA hard drive. It will just show up as a generic mass storage device in windows, no need to install additional drivers. It\'s almost as simple as plug and play.

• It doesn't work well as it looks. Thursday 08 July, 2010
  By Roy
  

  This SATA HDD Docking Station for MAC Support 1394B 1394A Firewire looks nice, it has some serious issues. Firewire doesn\'t work. At all. I can dock the drive, and it doesn\'t show up in Finder, let alone Disk Utility, using either Firewire 800 or Firewire 400 (it comes with both cables). Unplug the Firewire cables and plug in the USB, and guess what? It works.

  Dear Roy
  
  The UNITEK Y-1064 hard drive dock does support firewire 800/400. However, USB and Firewire cable can not be used at the same time for this dock. In addition, Macs will read NTFS but not write - except with the app the other poster mentioned. If you\'re only using the drive with the Mac, I\'d suggest reformatting it with HFS+. If you still want to share it with Windows, then FAT32 is the way to go.\r\nWWW.ESPOW.COM

  Excellent size and ease of operation. I\'m happy with the one I got!

  I search this gadget for a long time, let me try

  This is a fine solution to a workshop or some place that fixes computers. It\'s such a pain to get drives in and out of enclosures when you need to do a data backup from a un-bootable PC before re-formatting it or something. I use it for backing up my home media server. SWEET!

• Does it support PATA IDE hard drive? Friday 11 June, 2010
  By David Carnoy
  

  i want to ask a question for my friend.. Here it is, \"as per-GB price of DVD+R DL has risen past per-GB on a hard drive, I ant to use the latters for storage of large files. I may buy other hard driveswhen time calls for it. Because of this reason and to remain evolutive for the next computers I\'ll use, I would like a dock that could at least support SATA II and FireWire 800. is this dock compatible with PATA/IDE? \" thanks

  Dear David Carnoy
  
  Thanks for your inquiry. This docking station can not support PATA/IDE hard driver, unless you insert a SATA to IDE Converter to the dock slot. ESPOW.COM
• worked like a charm Wednesday 26 May, 2010
  By Jessica Dolcourt
  

  used the hard drive dock fw800 with a WD Scorpio 500GB HD. It worked like a charm with Mac OS. It\'s really a nice choice for people who use more than one internal hard drive.

• favorable price! Monday 17 May, 2010
  By Seven Michael
  

  Quad interface maximizes performance for any Mac and the price is really competitive.

• Good Docking Unit Tuesday 11 May, 2010
  By Don Reisinger
  

  Purchased this unit as a HD external toaster, and paid the extra for the Firewire, which is a nice feature. Running on Mac G5. Overall satisfied, did what I needed and didn\'t cause any difficulties.
