Speed ​​Test

We have not determined the maximum speed, but tested with older HDDs, with which the docking station is probably the most widely used. Here we have when writing about 76 MB / s when reading and 65 MB / s achieved. For the hard drives used, these values ​​are very good. You can on the write speed but also make a general statement because this per se and of operating system, drivers and interfaces is dependent on the HDD / SSD.

Inateck FD1003 write

Inateck has carried out the speed test with high-end hardware. Since we do not have the appropriate hardware, we can not verify that, too. The values ​​are, however, due to USB 3.0, UASP and fast flash memory quite realistisch.Inateck FD1003 (1)

With a price of about 26 also agrees the price-performance ratio we can complain about anything. There are of TechFire 5 Stars!
