The ORICO IT28E is a two-bay docking station with one M.2 NVMe slot and one bay for 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C at up to 10Gbps, with SATA drives running at up to 5Gbps. It also clones in both directions between the NVMe and SATA drive without a computer, with the source drive chosen by a switch. The M.2 drive can sit in its own aluminium heatsink case.

The IT28E copies a whole drive without a computer, in either direction: from the M.2 NVMe drive to the SATA drive, or from SATA to NVMe. A switch on the dock sets which drive is the source, and the target drive must be larger than the source drive.

The M.2 slot takes PCIe NVMe M-Key SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths; M.2 SATA (B-Key) drives are not supported. The second bay takes 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and hard drives or 3.5-inch hard drives.

The dock connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 on USB-C. NVMe drives run at up to 10Gbps and SATA drives at up to 5Gbps, and reaching 10Gbps needs a 10Gbps USB port on the computer.

ORICO rates the IT28E for M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 8TB and SATA SSDs or hard drives up to 22TB, and both drives can be read and written at the same time.

The M.2 SSD can be fitted into an aluminium case with a cooling vest and a silicone thermal pad, which helps it shed heat during long copies and protects its contacts when it is moved in and out of the dock.

The 1m 2-in-1 cable has a USB-C plug for the dock and both USB-C and USB-A ends for the computer, so it connects to laptops, desktops and other devices with either port.

The offline clone switch and the working-status lights sit on the dock itself, so the copy direction and the drive activity are visible at a glance. The dock goes to sleep after 10 minutes without activity.

Everything you need to know about this product
Yes. It clones offline in both directions, from the M.2 NVMe drive to the SATA drive or the other way round. A switch sets which drive is the source, and the target drive must be larger than the source.
Up to 10Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2 for the NVMe drive, and up to 5Gbps for SATA drives. Reaching 10Gbps needs a 10Gbps USB port on the computer.
No. The M.2 slot takes PCIe NVMe M-Key SSDs only, in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. An M.2 SATA (B-Key) drive will not work in it.
M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 8TB, and 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA SSDs and hard drives up to 22TB.
Yes. ORICO lists simultaneous reading and writing on the NVMe and the SATA drive.
Yes. ORICO lists Windows, macOS and Linux, and the 2-in-1 cable fits USB-C or USB-A ports.
If you move data between NVMe and SATA drives, or want to copy an old hard drive to a new NVMe SSD without a computer, it does both jobs in one dock.
