Hello, does this have a power switch to turn the drives off?

No. The one I bought on April 10, 2011 is still running flawlessly with 24/7 use though... and the grill does an excellent job of keeping dust and cat hair out of the drive! It's a great way to squeeze more HD's into a chassis.

nope... it only provides a mounting bracket for the drives. the drives are plugged directly to the power supply and the sata cables goes to the motherboard.

No, there's no external on/off switch -- however, it does sense when it is plugged into USB, and automatically turns on when plugged in, and goes into standby when the drive is unmounted / unplugged from USB. It also turns on/off automatically when the computer turns on/off, if left plugged in. I find that this works out really well.The big LED strip indicates when the drive is on. It has a separate power supply.

i don't know that specific answer, mine its always on..... you dont have an easy option to power it off, it does have a button on the back that you need to press around 5 seconds to turn it off, but its not that accessible, also through the admin webpage you have options to turn the hard disk off while idle for more than X minutes... like sleep mode, but you never turn it off... hope that helps

All this switch does is switch the power. Doesn't a SATA III drive use the same type of power connector? The specifics of the drive do not matter to this switch.

Yes. I have connected multiple external hard drives to this hub. It is a powered hub and will power drives that are not externally powered themselves (Drives which have only a USB connector and no DC adapter input).

There is no power switch on this. I plugged it into a power strip to power it on and off.

Hi Dillon's Mom,No, there is no an on/off power switch, but there is a on/off indicator light. Once you unplug the power adapter, it will turn off. Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

Ron....no, the hard drive is a plug-n-play, no external power source needed.

There is only one power switch. You could pull the drives out just slightly, so they are disconnected, but that's not what you're looking for. I don't know if they have a product with the feature you're looking for.

No, the computer will shut down but it does not turn off unless one pushes and holds down the power switch.

Yes. It was turned off with the power button. Brand new batteries went dead. You can take out the batteries when not being used. I didn't expect I would have to do that. I already bought a different one anyway.

Yes, the power light is always on ... I do not believe their is any physical switch to turn the dock off.

I do not believe there is an off switch as the dock is always available to put into and the usb ports are always on so you can use them to charge batteries etc when not in use for computer

Nope. There is an eject button on the front. You press that and take your drive out while your PC is on. It's great.
