Fideco dual bay docking station doesn't read drives. Dead?

[philb2]

I have had this Fideco dual bay docking station for a number of years now. http://www.fideco-it.com/copy_prod_details_081448_1733859.html. Totally reliable until today. It would not read from any drive I tried. (They can't all be bad.) I swapped power supply and USB cables. No difference. So is this docking station now e-waste?

Anyone have a dual-bay docking station they can recommend?

I moved from a BlacX and a generic model to a Sabrent. ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSG4XM4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 )

I moved on from the BlacX because it was the older eSATA / USB2 model. It was from the early 2000's I believe and still worked fine, I just no longer had an eSATA port without using an adapter card.

When it comes to things like this I only buy stuff from Startech because their stuff lasts. I've got some cloning docks that are now nearly on their 10 year and still working.
