Windows 10: recommendations for RELIABLE 1 or 2 bay HDD docking station

I have this 2 bay Orico docking station that has not been reliable for a long time. I think they no longer sell this product. So I just tossed this device into the recycle bin.

So i'm seeking recommendations for a brand and model of docking station for both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives.

Moderators: If this post belongs in a different forum, please move. I apologize for the mistake.

Thanks in advance,



:)

 

HDD Docking

Connected 2 Bay Docking station to my Laptop with 1TB HDD(2.5) and 250GB HDD(3.5). It is not recognized by the Laptop. Removed 1TB HDD(2.5), 250GB(3.5) shown up to my drive. Likely removed 250GB(3.5), connected 1TB(2.5) it didn't recognized. Connected
1TB(2.5) with another sata to USB adaptor, It works. Reason for not detecting in Docking station ?

 

I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.
2. When i'm on docking station system says i'm connected to home Wi-Fi, but when i browse says not connected.
3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?

 

HDD Docking

Hi Tonyo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
with the connections on your computer model.



Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



Update device drivers for docking station:

• Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
  Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
  
• Install the driver suggested and check.
  

If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



Note:

Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
