UGREEN CM198 USB 3.0 Dual-Bay HDD SSD Docking Station

The UGREEN CM198 is a dual-bay HDD SSD docking station that lets you plug in two SATA drives at once, with no case, no screws and no opening up your PC. Drop in a bare 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive and it is ready to use over a 5Gbps USB 3.0 connection.

This UGREEN docking station also has an offline cloning mode, so you can copy one drive to another without a computer. It is a practical tool for upgrading to an SSD, backing up old drives or recovering files from a drive you have kept aside.

Whether you work in IT, edit large media files or just want to get the files off an old hard drive, the CM198 keeps the job simple.

Key Features

• Dual-bay design: Two drive slots let you connect two SATA drives together. You can move files between them or work with both in one session.

• 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface: Fast data transfer cuts the waiting time when you copy large folders, backups or media libraries.

• UASP support: This transfer protocol helps drives work more efficiently, which is useful when you move a lot of data.

• Offline cloning (A to B): Copy one drive to another straight from the dock, with no PC involved. This makes migrations and backups much easier.

• 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA support: One dock handles laptop drives, desktop drives and SATA SSDs, so you do not need separate adapters.

• SATA III, backward compatible: It works with a wide range of drives, including older SATA generations.

• Windows, macOS and Linux support: You can use it across different computers and operating systems.

• 1-meter USB cable: The cable is long enough to place the dock comfortably beside your desk or laptop.

Why Choose This UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay HDD Docking Station

If you regularly swap, check or copy drives, a dual-bay dock saves time compared with opening a PC or buying an enclosure for every drive. You insert the drive, connect the USB cable and start working. The CM198 is built for exactly that kind of everyday handling.

The offline cloning mode is the biggest practical advantage. You can duplicate a drive without installing cloning software or tying up a computer, which is ideal for upgrading an old HDD to an SSD or keeping a spare copy of important data.

Fast 5Gbps USB 3.0 speeds and UASP support also make daily transfers smoother. If you are looking for a UGREEN docking station that handles both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, the CM198 covers both in a single compact unit.
