Wavlink Vs Sabrent

I have the opportunity to purchase some new opened box Sabrent EC-HD2B hard drive docks. I already have a couple of Wavlink ST334 docks. Had the odd dropout with large files with the Wavlink so wanted to give the Sabrent a try.

Both have ASMedia chipsets but AI says the user reviews are more favourable to the Sabrent w.r.t. build quality and longevity. I can always sell on the Wavlink if the Sabrent turns out to be more reliable or keep as spares.

Opinions?

I have a few Sabrent NVMe enclosures for SSD - definitely good quality and no problems.

Good to know MHC.

Jmicron chipsets are the ones you have to avoid, especially for large transfers. I've seen failure on 30gb to 60gb transfers .

Duly noted.

So two Sabrent EC-HD2B docks arrived today and Linux says both ASMedia. Been testing large files in Windows and no problems so far.

yeah i've got an usb to sata asmedia unit and two jmicron ones.
