Please do NOT connect more than one drive at a time to this unit. The MB881IU3-1SA is intended to be used one hard drive at a time
For most of the IDE (ATA) hard drive, the drive jumper settings should be configured to “Master” mode. If the docking fails to detect the IDE hard drive in Master mode, please try different jumper settings, i.e. Slave, CS
The device supports USB 2.0 speed when connected with USB 2.0 ports. To achieve accurate USB 3.0 transfer speed, the host end must be connected to a USB 3.0 port. Transfer speed may also vary depending on hard drive speed
EZ-Dock Lite have IDE to USB 3.0 incompatibility issue when working under Windows 8 and 10. We recommend using USB 2.0 with IDE drives for Windows 8 and 10 users
