Review: Great product - This thing works wonders on my 256 GB seadisk hard drive from a computer that the motherboard failed on many many years ago. I must say this first because at first I did not think it worked because it would not go into it. What I did have to do is remove the adapter that comes off of the front side that plugs into the computer itself. After you do that more than likely it will go in just as designed because most laptops have adapter pins specific to their branding or whenever it was made. I did have to remove the outer shell which had the mounting screws in it to slide in and I hook the power supply up as well as plugged it right into the USB and it started reading everything flawlessly. I can't speak on anything further than this because that is the only hard drive I have tried but initially I thought it was a botched attempt to manipulate words because it says all hard drives from 2.5 in to 3.5 in less than 20 TB. Again once I pulled the plastic adapter piece off of the front of the hard drive where it would go into the computer it slid right in just fine and started to read immediately. Basically you can turn a failed computer hard drive into an external or if you cannot gain access to that computer any longer because the motherboard has failed or something along those lines use this and you can recover everything just the same ways you would see it on the computer you were using without any extra software Review: Worked very well! - Simple design, well made and very straightforward to operate! Worked perfectly with my older SATA 3.5” hard drive! ## Features - Supports most standard 2.5” and 3.5” SATA drives; some high-capacity, non-standard, or enterprise drives may have compatibility limitations - Connects via SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (up to 10x as fast as USB 2.0). - UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support for even faster performance. UASP requires UASP capable host system - Serial ATA bus up to 6Gbps Signal bandwidth for fast storage backups - Power Requirement: 3.5” desktop drives require the included external power adapter to operate properly ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LS5NFQ2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Hard Drive Docking Stations | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktops, Laptops | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 36,734 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Single Bay | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819921011572 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | 3.5-Inch Floppy, USB 3.0 Type A, eSATA | | Hardware Platform | Windows | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.09"L x 4.8"W x 1.6"H | | Item Weight | 7.5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Material | Single Bay | | Memory Storage Capacity | 20 TB | | Mfr Part Number | EC-DFLT | | Model Number | EC-DFLT | | Product Dimensions | 7.09"L x 4.8"W x 1.6"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 780746852766 819921011572 737989665660 650135421227 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** 3.5-Inch Floppy, USB 3.0 Type A, eSATA - **Hardware Platform:** Windows - **Product Dimensions:** 7.09"L x 4.8"W x 1.6"H ## Images ![SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y8qIYM2eL.jpg) ![SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712izt2nWBL.jpg) ![SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+V1Np44AL.jpg) ![SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fRLf7tI1L.jpg) ![SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L-onbMtUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a 1TB internal hard drive which I want to convert to external for backup storage.Is this a viable solution?** A: Ignore the other responses. Yes, this will work fine for backing up your drives. The drive type for your internal drive doesn't matter unless you were planning to remove it and plug it into the external bay (you don't need to do that). As long as your internal drive is readable by your system, that's all you need for this to work. Buy a NEW drive for your backup that will fit into the external bay (SATA, or M.2 if you purchased that version), then copy the data from your internal disk to the external disk. You will then have your backup. Note that while the details specifies that it can support up to 20tb drives, it really only appears to be able to support up to 16tb drives (at least the original one without the M.2 slot). If you are stuck with your system only reading up to 2TB's of disk space, but you have a larger drive, that means you used the wrong partition style (MBR), for larger than 2TB capacity drives you need to use the (GPT) partition style. **Q: Is the power supply universal (110-240V) ?** A: 12v ps. Provided...do not use 12v supply with 5v drives. Some drives are ranged 5v to 12v . Some just say 5v. **Q: Will this product support a 6TB?** A: You will probably have to jump through hoops to do so. I tried to run in the firmware and kept getting an error. Contacted support and they wanted me to go through some 20 step process to do so and use a file not from their website. Nobody could explain to me why it wouldn't update with the firmware file on their website that had my product specifically listed. In the end I opted not to do it and went with a different product that natively / out of box supported 6TB and larger **Q: Is it safe to use this for media files and run 24/7?** A: Absolutely. I have had mine connected to my PC for 2 months 24/7, and it runs just like an internal Sata HDD. Have a good one! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by C***H on March 19, 2026* This thing works wonders on my 256 GB seadisk hard drive from a computer that the motherboard failed on many many years ago.

Worked perfectly with my older SATA 3.5” hard drive! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great enclosure *by S***. on March 18, 2026* My old laptop pc died, one too many falls to the floor. I needed the files on the drive so I took apart the pc and rescued the hard drive from it. I didn't know what type the drive so took a chance and ordered an enclosure last night just before midnight. It was here by 6am this morning. The harddrive slid right in. I connected it to the computer (usb) plugged it in a it works wonderfully. Ive only had it for a few hours but it's working great. Up and working in 10 minutes. Great! Now if I could access my old onedrive cloud files on my new pc, I'd be a happy camper. ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) - Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC (ST8000DMZ04/004) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/78846677-sabrent-usb-3-0-to-sata-external-hard-drive-lay](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/78846677-sabrent-usb-3-0-to-sata-external-hard-drive-lay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
