Does this work with any hard disk/SSD with SATA 6GB/s interface? The description seems to say it works with seagate back up plus only.

If thunderbolt interface has this capability then it's fit. Otherwise i don't know :)

It will work on any small drive with low power consumption. It is a bit slower than regular thunderbolt. I think USB 3.0 may be faster than this device.

Yes it will work with any SATA drive. It is made to connect to an external SATA connector on computers that have this availible. This is the e-SATA end. The other end of the cable is a standard SATA connector just like the internal SATA cables.

I've connected 8 x HGST 4TB NAS drives without issue. The one issue I did have is connecting two of my Samsung 850 Pro SSD drives (a 128GB and a 256GB). Neither drive was recognized when connected through the back plane. The drive sleds support mounting 2.5" drives, but for some reason these SSDs would not be detected. I confirmed the SSDs worked fine when using the same SATA cable connected right to the ports.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking, Samuel! The "+" indicates that it should work with drives beyond 3TB in size. We have had great results in our testing labs as well as very positive customer feedback regarding using the dock with 4TB drives.

Yes it works with SATA II drives.No special to do's either. Just mount the drive (very easy install BTW) , plug it in & go to to Town &lt;grins&gt; (sorry for the lateness of my answer ;-) -- Just got back from Vacation &lt;Sigh&gt; ) Oh and also.. I now have four of these units ,along with various other manufactures. This unit works just as well as all the others ,if not better. I have a total of 12 external drives , last count .Not blowing my horn. just want you to know I HAVE tried & used other Mfgr's & truth be told. This unit is an exact match to at least 2 other Brand Names out there, Altho they charge more , I guess for the name they put on it &lt;shrug&gt; .I'm not a name person, long as it works & works well I'm good .

I wondered the same thing when I bought it since I wanted to be certain of this. The manufacturer said it was "compatible" with SATA III, but that does not necessarily mean anything. The external interface is USB 3.0 and limtied to 5Gbits/sec max throughput, of course. Anyway, after testing with a fast 3.5" 7200 disk drive, I came to the conclusion that the drive internally is running at max performance for its platter write speeds - as you can see from my reported review. Unless I were to check with an SSD, I would not be certain of the interface, but my educated guess is that it is is an internal SATA III interface ... hope that helps!

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This will work with any Hard Drive that has a SATA port. I just looked up your drive and it does have a SATA connection so you're good to go.

Yes. It works with both drive types. I have about 25 left over 2.5" drives and have used them many times.This Plugable device is really just a hub for connecting SATA hard drives. Plugable is a great company too. Since I first ordered from them about 6 months ago, they are where I get all my 'generic' device needs. Always better than 'Made in China' type quality that we're used to.

It is designed especially for certain seagate external drives. In the other hand, it has a standart sata data and power connector. Maybe it can work with other drives but I have not tried it.

It has standard SATA data and power connectors so yes it can if you have an external case or cables that can use those connectors. The connectors are exactly like that of an internal SATA hard drive.I would not use a SSD disk as a backup drive if you plan to write to it many times (1000s) over your planed use. If you have a USB3 interface on the machine you are doing the backups from an USB3 external drive is very fast for backups.

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never tried it. It might be a proprietary adapter, and only work with the Seagate product.

I tried It but didn't work with any hard drives and I returned it. Some people say it works but it surely was not my case

I haven't tried it with SATA II or SATA III drives. Sorry about that. I have found that it is not very dependable for simply using hard drives as USB drives - sometimes the computer fails to recognize drives plugged into the Calvary duplicator.

I had a similar thing happen to me and discovered that the included cable only works with an SSD drive. It doesn't work with a standard hard drive.

I just put a 3TB Seagate drive in one of these and it worked. One of my laptops had a weird issue, but other machines did not. TDMSERVICE.EXE consumed massive amounts of RAM (3+GB) a few times before it acted normal. A different laptop of the same make/model did not have the same problem. That first laptop has issues adding hardware anyways, so I don't think it's a combination of the enclosure and drive.

Do not know the answer to this; I used it only on the Seagate drive specified in the product description above.
