Naturally, YMMV. I have this dock and the two docs on the left side are frozen and don’t eject the drives any longer. Which means they’re not docks any long. If you buy and the drives don’t easily eject, then return it. Test the eject function repeatedly before installing.
oh well that’s weird, I didnt know the Discourse plugin would do that. That was just me fixing a typo in the blog post on my website, I didnt realize it was going to publish it here because I posted it well before the forum existed. That’s interesting!
Anyway, I have heard some people having issues with the eject not always working properly but that is kind of surprising because I have had one for years and it has never had any issues with ejecting. I guess its like a roll of the dice if that happens or not.
thanks for the awesome information..
