    Disastrous quality

    Without even having plugged it in, the device smells like the bottom of the range. Given the price, I wasn't expecting goldsmithery, but still!
    I'm not sure I'd recommend this product because of the protective flap that bends under the effect of the springs, the power button that doesn't lock if it's not pressed properly and the smallness of the cables supplied.

    I'm not recommending this product, but it does work well when the power button wants to work properly.

    Note to self: forget the ICY BOX brand.

    I hope at least it works.

    Meets my expectations

    This product is really good quality. I use it mainly on GNU/Linux distribution ( Fedora SilverBlue ) to make backups or for installations. I have done about twenty transfers without any problem.
    On the other hand, there are some problems that do not affect the use of the product.

    Firstly, the USB 3.0 cable supplied is really short and the only place I can put it is on the top of my tower. Secondly, there is no cover on the connector so dust gets in (so you have to remember to clean it well or cover it). Finally, the plastic of the flip-top is a bit fragile (traces of wear due to repeated rubbing of the 3.5" disks).

    At this price, this little dock does the job very well.

    very good

    icy box B-112StU3-B as soon as plugged in as soon as detected
    on my dell laptop -17- 3793 and my HP laptop - 15-db1042nf.
    Both my laptops are running linuxmint cinnamon 20.
    I can read EXT or FAT disks without problems and very quickly.
    With EXT disks it is even faster. Linux is great.
    The exchange between disks is very fast.
    It just needs a little dust cover when I'm not using it.

    Exactly what you want from a dock

    The 3.0 is obviously very nice.
    The only remark I would make is that the price is a bit high for what it is. Otherwise to finish the 200 characters it is a very good product.

    Fulfils its role

    Nothing special to report, it's a hard drive dock... The 2.5 and 3.5 disks fit together well, the USB3 connection is fast, everything goes well. Ideal for making backups or cloning machines.
