    Hi All
    I have a docking station that i bought a while ago and it never really worked, i connect it to my computer but i find that it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting all the time with the hard drive plugged in to it which defeats the purpose !. i have checked the cable and changed usb port and even checked that usb was not going into sleep mode in the power management. does the same for 2.5 and 3.5 disks. even different models, still the same. i use windows seven.
    is it just a crap dock?. got it for 40 euro in Maplins.or is there a fault in the dock unit ?.
    any help would be great?Regards

    If its the same on a second PC/laptop then return it to Maplin.

    Why someone would pay €40 for a docking station is beyond me. You can pick one up on ebay/amazon for less than a fiver!

    FYI: Next time, go to Maplin, see what you want to buy then buy it online probably for 70% less than they would charge for it.
