I'm struggling with a menagerie of inexpensive but unreliable SATA/PATA combination docks. Attaching KGBs to them only gives me a usable drive about 50% of the time, and I'm worried about binning a good drive because the dock can't deal with the drive for whatever reason. I would prefer to use something external so I'm not constantly opening fragile old machines to get at their built-in controllers, or leaving them operating with their cases open for my children to commit some accidental tragedy to their exposed guts.
I remember the purple wiebetechs being the gold standard two lifetimes ago when I was a tech. I'm inclined to pick one up used off the hellsite at this point, but was curious if anyone here had a good experience with any of the more modern docks.
Would also be interested in any software recommendations for pulling data from disks on the brink.
