Interested in the question of the reliability of docking stations like this one ?

Judging by the photographs, I can’t judge how securely the HDD sits in it (it seems that it is stupidly holding on to the connector there and still vibrates well in the operation of its HDD). In general, I would like to know how reliable such docks are.

Or just take a case ?

I briefly described mine Zalman ZM-MH200 HUB . During the operation of the current, the USB port on the computer began to fail, after the station plowed through forgetfulness for about 3 days. Threw it into another, the flight is normal.
There are no complaints about fixing the feints, although I pull them out without pressing the eject button, but just like that, because less effort is needed.

a pocket is for permanent transfer of the screw, a docking station for periodically connecting different screws, there is also such a Scythe Kama Connect 2 (SCUPS-2000) l , each of these devices has its own purpose,
yes, the screw enters the connector in the docking station, but there is a very small discrepancy between the walls so that the screw will sit tight enough
in the work I use all 3 devices very conveniently and practically

Holds on to the connectors, dangles, but does not vibrate during operation. Why should he vibrate along the axis of rotation?
If I insert a thin screw, and there is space left, I push something in there for stability.

Dock stations are different. I have already encountered the fact that those 2 external (All in One) with USB that I took for work sometimes do not see some disks. It feels like there is not enough food. Connect via USB. Therefore, I would advise better something that can be connected to the computer itself, on SATA.

Now we are choosing a docking station for ourselves (the main requirements are to accommodate 2.5 and 3.5 disks, and also support USB 2.0); I would like a device with WiFi support, or even with the ability to connect it to a home network. Who can give some advice on this? Thanks in advance.
