Am I able to move the hard drive into a different hard drive enclosures that supports multiple docks?

This is a Seagate portable hard drive, with USB 3 Port. The unit is factory sealed. You would violate the warranty to open it for inspection, or otherwise. It is intended to be used only as it is manufactured and provided, via a USB cable to a notebook, or desktop PC. You need to investigate internal drives for dock support.G. Combs

I am not that familiar of this type of components, all I know is that this is an external hard drive.Sorry, I am not of great help to you.

Yes, you are. I did something similar with mine, moving the hard drive into a different enclosure, safer and more useful for me. The only thing is that I had to reformat the hard drive after making the operation.

You can free float one. But there's only one Drive bay. Unless you use the floppy bay for the SSD.

You can migrate the drives to a new unit but there are a few things that get lost. see this tutorial:http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/tutorials/484

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 do not believe it could be compatible cause the old drive is probably an IDE drive and this dock is for SATA hard drives

No, with this product you will need to remove the hard drive from the computer and insert it into this dock in order to clone.

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 presume you're having a problem with the connector of the mentioned GoFlex hard drive and not the actualy hard drive itself. If that is the case, then yes, this should take care of the same. Taking the HDD out of the seagate case might take some work, but putting it inside this one's a breeze!

You can hook up 2 hard drives on the IDE cable if there is room or 2 connector blocks open. Would recommend getting a SATA card and then you could install 2 hard drives on that (much faster drive)

Yes. The SATA connectors are pass-thru type on this device, unlike many drive docks. I installed this device solely for system imaging backup/restoration and confirmed my restored drive is bootable.However, do note that the compactness of the 2-drive designs means the HDD can get toastily hot! Even with only 1 x 3.5in HDD it can get very toasty, but a single 2.5in SSD will be perfectly fine ...

All 2.5" or 3.5" SATA Interface HDD or SSD can be fitted into this Aleratic Duplicating Dock. Target Disk must be of same or larger capacity than the source Disk.

not sure what you mean by docking station, if you are just looking for additional storage look at Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home 3 TB External Hard Drive STAM3000100, Black or (Old Model) Seagate Backup Plus 1TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (Black)(STBU1000100)A

According to the product description listed with the item:"Unique design allows any 2.5/3.5in IDE hard drive to be used and inserted (upright) into a SATA HDD docking station or duplicator drive bayBacked by a StarTech 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical supportSupports 40-pin (3.5in) and 44-pin (2.5in) IDE hard drives"If you're drive meets these specs it should work. I no longer have the unit since I opted for a dual bay external dock.

No other enclosure is needed. The most important thing is to pay attention to how your current hard drive is mounted, some are just mounted with 4 screws, some fit into a sliding encasement that you'll already have inside your computer holding the existing drive you're replacing.

I just used one HD and screwed it in to the holes in the bottom part of the chassis. Not sure what I would do about the second drive.

I would think so. Each drive is seen independently by the system and can be assigned a drive letter. I have done it without issues on the very similar docking station, from the same company

Lisa, a better approach may be to just buy another dock for your IDE drives and this dock for your SATA drives. I don't know how many bays you have open, but I have a mini-tower and find having both is very convenient. Also, if your use of IDE is infrequent, there are several kits where you can convert IDE to USB and just plug your IDE drive in that way. Those kits are cheap too, $10-$15. I have this ICY DOCK you are looking at, and I love it as I do a lot of disk swapping. Good luck.
