Anybody ever use this for charging / electronic cable & connector storage???

no but that is a really good idea. The pockets are big enough and it would hang in a closet nicely

I have a Q5. If I bring the cable out the upper left corner of the glob box I'm able to latch the box without damaging the cable. It does put a bit of a kink in the cover of the cable but hasn't appeared to cause any problems.

In order to get this unit to work with my hard drive I had to use an external power supply so i would have to think that you would be better off with a direct connection to the computer for charging any device. Hope this helps.

I am trying this tonight. The box does have two external USB ports but the internal GoFlex dock looks to be a standard SATA connection. Ill let you know how it goes.

I let it hang. I have my PC 350 SE's cable rolled up to a usable length near the connector jack. I use the HH 10 for short storage when their not on my head. (which isn't often unless AFK, TV, or sleep)

You could try that out (as I haven't). But I would use one of the computer's USB connectors to access the docked hard drive.

I bought some long sata cables so i could run them out the back of the case. I also have a few raid controllers (perc6e) that have external cables. I did not use the built in power supply connector. I bought a dual power supply cable that attached to the mainboard. So when the computer was on it powered on the drives in this rack.

sorry, I haven`t tested that. I will have a USB3 portable hd soon. I'll check it out.

I got it to work as a desk one also. You just have to close the mobile apps first. If it helps, I actually did away with my desk dock. I use a squishy, foam like, universal holder, my wife picked up somewhere for a couple of bucks. I just plug the charging cord in, and turn on whatever app I want it to use.

I am using it just for that. I have the eSATA side connected to the exterior eSATA port in the back to an internal SATA HD inside the case. THe SATA HD is powered by the SATA Power connector.

I would't risk it. I bought this dock and connected 2 Seagate 3TBs. It initially worked, so I went ahead and back up ALL my data. The next day the dock kept getting disconnected and now my IMAC won't even mount the drives. I tried another dock and seems that the drives have been fried by the Thermaltake dock. There goes 2.5TB of data!

I have had a difficult time finding external hard drives that hold up. Most have moved to this very flimsy connector (other end from USB end). I've had a G-Drive fail, and replaced. More recently have moved to OWC solid state drives, which have the firewire AND usb connectors. Tried Thunderbolt, but unfortunately not enough manufacturers are adopting.. good luck!

multi device charging station/cord organizer? Don't know exactly what your configuration looks like but, I use my device on a book shelf on it's side. I have an Ipad, Iphone, Blue-tooth speaker and USB Keyboard all charging at the same time with no issues or overheating. The device just gets barely warm. Hope this helps.

Hi PeterYes, you are quite right. I hadn't tried that but my unit will not do both at the same time. In practice I have a dual USB charger so the need has never arisen. Regards Richard Allan.

I don't believe this particular unit was configured for that use. As you can see they do offer Anker USB with specific charging capabilities. As I mentioned it may be possible but doesn't make it the proper choice to do so. Re-read specs and information given on main page for this unit and may shed more light on this question. Sorry could not be more help but I presently do not use this unit to charge any devices.Ray

Not very well, I wouldn't recommend it. I have a separate zip pouch (2"x3") for the charger/cables
