Does this docking station supports SSD drive?

Due to its unique spring design, this docking station holds both your 2.5" and 3.5" HDD or SSD firmly in place. In short, yes it does.

This docking station does support SSD drives.I used it to clone my existing drive onto a SSD drive. Then swaped out the hard drive for the SSD.

Yes. You will need a SATA -&gt; USB adaptor cable to connect the SSD to a USB port. Seagate has free software called Disk Wizard that is available for free on their website - I think it is included with the drive as well. There are also free disk cloning tools out there such as AOMEI Partition Assistant.

It was my understanding that this item included an SSD slot...when I received mine it didn't have one so that may be why you are asking this question you may have been deceived like I was....if there is no SSD slot then you need to add something to the USB connection that may provide an SSD slot...sorry

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

I would avoid buying this brand. The drivers are out of date; it's old technology. I own about 8 "Plugable" docking stations. The answer is yes to your question. You can format the drive in Disk Management in Control Panel.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.

Yes it does support all of features. I'm using ssd cache right now. Works great. Just make sure you update to the latest BIOS update.

I would think so. Each drive is seen independently by the system and can be assigned a drive letter. I have done it without issues on the very similar docking station, from the same company

My only experience is with the Icy Dock and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. In that case my first attempt produced the same results you saw. Checking things over, I realized that I hadn't made a full connection although the SSD appeared to be in the dock. With a bit more care, I was able to make a connection and the computer found the drive.

Max supported size? Dimensionally, it fits every modern 3.5 inch drive I've tried. Gig/Terabyte wise, it doesn't care, the Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors pass through. If your drive will work without this dock, it should work with the dock. It's sort of like asking how fast a car can your garage handle. The garage doesn't care about speed, just if it will fit through the door.

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.

No. Standard 5400 drive. I added an Msata and took out the mechanical drive and added a Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (7.5mm) and this machine screams. This unit has no Msata installed as is, but the case is easily opened and adding an Msata to the empty slot is no big deal.

Works great as an SSD "dock" I highly recommend the Crucial M500 drive but should work with Samsung

I have used this as a dock for an SSD and it works very well. The drive is stable in the cradle and this dock offers very fast speeds (~430MB/sec with a late 2013 iMac I7 with internal SSD)
