Syba USB 3.0 Dual Bay SATA HDD Dock (SY-ENC50091)
So far, I've used it with one 3.5" SATA HDD, and it works perfectly (Windows recognizes it, etc). I've only used one of the two I ordered thus far, and I've only used one of the two bays, and have not had a need for the drive-to-drive clone feature (I'll probably never use that). It isn't quite as stable (heavy in the base) as the old Thermaltake toasters I've used up to now, so if you've only got one drive inserted (a 3.5"), it can overbalance and tip forward if you're not careful (almost knocked it over scooting it to another place on the desk). The bays themselves aren't as solid-feeling as my TT toasters, but for around $20 bucks for a USB 3.0 Toaster for occasional use, you really can't complain. It otherwise does what it's supposed to, so I'm not going to dock it a star for build quality.

Great, maybe noisey though
Really nice. Works when you just want to mount both hard drives separately and no do a duplication or raid with them. I wish it was a bit more sturdy, but for the price, what more can you expect. Currently have some WD Greens in there which run very cool and quiet, but I did briefly have an HGST server drive and it was super hot and loud since there is no case around it. Not SYBA's fault, but something to keep in mind.

Seems to work properly. Have not had a chance to test the clone function.

On MacOS Sierra, you can not add or remove a drive without the other drive ejecting as well.

Works fine... and then it trashes your drives
When I first used it, it was awesome. Worked great. For about a year.Since then, I've lost half a dozen drives to this thing. It seems to have very poor power management, because I can't run more than one drive at a time, it never mounts some drives, and it takes FOREVER to mount the rest. There HAVE to be better options than this. Some of my drives won't mount at all now. Could it be because a hard drive isn't really designed to be swapped? Possibly, but I'm careful with my media--I always wait for heads to park (you can hear it on any drive) and don't keep the drives near anything magnetic. But they seem to stay hot, even when not being run--and that can't be good for them. It's usually PCB failures, it seems. Which would make sense for a drive dock that spends more juice needlessly spinning a drive than carefully mounting and un-mounting them.
