I haven't looked at the reviews but part of me wonders if the returns were from those that needed it as a one and done HDD clone and then returned it after.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I have this and it works just fine for a DAS or cloner, but beware when it first turns on (from you or from the house losing power), it beeps LOUD AS HELL. It is absurd how loud of a beep it is, so don't power it back up if you need to keep other people asleep in the next room over.

I have a very similar model that is USB-C to USB-A. Looks identical other than the connector.

I bought it back in March because I needed to wipe and test a group of 120+ 2.5" hard drives, and a few dozen sata ssds. I usually did this with a single SATA to USB adapter, but that group of drives became large enough over the past couple years that I was sitting on the group. When the price of used 500gb hard drives practically doubled this year, I decided it was time to get rid of them.

It took a solid day, but I worked through all the drives. I'd say this device more than doubled the speed I was able to wipe, test and zero out the drives. Well worth the $24 I paid.

I have never used the clone function, but it's a handy option if I ever need it. And yes, that beep when you first turn it on is obnoxious.

That, or probably some doofs that thought they could use newer drives with it.

You can, I don't like to do it with clone units though because you have one button that can wreck your day if accidentally pressed.

Does it look like it's put together with screws to be able to easily disassemble? If so, I'd probably modify it and remove the piezo element or muffle it good.

It's currently in use and I don't feel like having the whole DAS go offline just to tinker with it (for now), next time it happens I'll take a look at it to see if it's easy to disassemble.

The beep doesn't happen often as I basically run everything 24/7, it can just catch you off guard the once a month it happens, and it makes me wonder why in the hell they thought that was necessary or a good idea.

Man that's enough to keep me from buying it though. Why does it even need an audible alarm when it gets powered on? That's what the LED is for
