IOGEAR Metal Vault Dock, USB 3.0 Docking Station with Built-In Backup Drive Enclosure, GUD310, red

Easy to set up, has multiple ports, and reliable. Our company has ordered several of these and have had no issues with any of them and some we have had over a year. Will order again.

Greetings, This unit has been a real pain to work with. Getting it set up was a struggle. The extremely loose power connection and faulty web site. It worked for one day. Yesterday , it worked great!! This morning, not so much. The unit failed to recognize my other two monitors that were recognized yesterday. I have tried rebooting the unit, rebooting my laptop, swapping out the connection cable and nothing has worked. I have tried booting up the monitors after the laptop. I have tried booting up the monitors before I booted up the laptop. I have separated the unit into the hard drive section and the rest of the docking port and reconnected them. The laptop sees the hard drive in the base of the unit but nothing else. I have tried various sequences of booting up... laptop first, then docking station and then external monitors'. I tried docking station first, then laptop and monitors. I tried monitors, unit and then laptop. The hard drive in the docking station is visible and accessible but nothing else. I will be ordering another docking station but it wont be one from IOmega. Given the difficulties I went through to get this unit functional and now this. I can not and will not recommend this unit to anyone. If you've purchased one and it works, congratulations!!! I wish you luck. As for myself, I will find another docking station.

The Space for 2.5 HD provides escalability

To be clear, audio that was supposed to play in front played in back and audio that was supposed to play as right played as left. Everything else worked perfectly. Build quality was a lacking for the price (some of the metal trim was coming off despite adhesive).

Lacks support for ultra wide resolution (3440 x 1440) and built-in NIC doesn't have driverless support for Linux (many other USB NIC are supported)

Bought open box version and just didn't work. Too late and shipping too expensive to return. I know it doesn't work because a mouse won't even light up. It does provide power to USB charging, so it is the most expensive charger I am using now.

like it but carfeull

This truly is one of the worst computer related items I have ever seen. Our organization purchased quite a few, and after having alot of trouble with most of them, they quickly stopped purchasing them and completely removed them from availability. From graphics issues on higher-end needs for graphical power, to driver issues, to network connectivity issues, it always seemed like there were mulitple problems. And sometimes, they just decided not to work at all! This is one product that clearly did either not go through proper testing, OR they didnt care. Either way, thats a clear sign to stay away.

Amazing deal by Amazon. Similar other products are CND 120+ but got it only for CND 75. Good product for desktop use, has 4 USB 3.0 ports compared to 2 in other products, also has a HDD case (haven't used it). Iogear customer service claims it is UASP enabled. 'Metal' is more of a gimmick, doesn't matter, there is no real need for a metal casing anyways.

producto segun especificación

Me sentí atraído por la idea de conveniencia de tener un docking station, sin embargo ha sido una fuente constante de frustraciones. Los componentes dejan de funcionar al azar, a veces el mouse, a veces el teclado, a veces el ethernet... en sesiones muy cortas pero a veces también en sesiones largas, es totalmente impredecible. Los displays son una constante fuente de conflictos, nunca funcionó con 3 monitores (intentarlo resultó en pantalla azul), solo funcionó con 2 en configuración extendida, al clonar crasheaba. En general problemático. Lo intenté con dos computadoras diferentes, con Windows 7 y Windows 10 y en ambos presentó problemas, aunque particularmente en Windows 7. Ojalá y funcionara bien, prometía ser un gran producto, no me quedó más remedio que solicitar devolución.
