Is there a similar solution from Plugable or other reputable manufacturer that would allow multiple lay-flat docking stations to stack?

Yes! Although its current price is ten USD higher than Pluggable. "Archgon MH-3507-U3A" ASIN B00DQM55QI. Another benefit of Archgon, it has a power switch.Archgon MH-3507-U3A USB 3.0 2.5"/3.5" Hard Drive Docking Station Optimized for UASP & SATA III 6.0 Gbps Transfer Rate

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! Sorry, but no. We would be concerned about heat buildup issues in this scenario, and would not recommend it. Most of the multi-bay NAS and USB multi-drive enclosures have a cooling solution for this reason. Sorry we can't offer a more helpful response, hope the details help!

Wish I had found this Plugable dock when I was looking a couple of months ago! Anyway Ultra makes/made a lay flat dock that is designed to stack. I bought one just a few weeks ago as a trial. When I went to try to order another it looks like they may be discontinued. If you just do a web search for stackable usb 3.0 hard drive dock you can probably find it. I could not find it by searching on TD, but a web search found them. Only a few left and only in certain TD stores. I have had very good luck with Plugable products now that have found this dock I will buy a couple of these instead. I figure I can probably buy or build some kind of little open shelf unit to hold them and provide adequate ventilation. Wish I had found this Plugable dock when I was looking a couple of months ago!

I've not tried to attach two HDDs at the same time. I suspect the device was not intended to accommodate two drives at once. The ICY Dock has served me well, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Yes, unfortunately. It would be great if there was one cord that fed both devices, but I think they want to allow flexibility between android and apple devices (one of each)? Any way I just LOVE this dual docking cradle. It's stylish, heavy and there is a sticky pad that you use to prevent the cradle from lifting when you undock. They've thought of almost everything!! Belkin makes a transformer that has two USB ports, and an electrical outlet that plugs into a single wall outlet. It's great too!!

I think these could help you: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Docking-Station-0A33970/dp/B008ABKADI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&srs=2529776011&ie=UTF8&qid=1391094960&sr=1-1&keywords=lenovo+docking+station

Yes, you can i've used 4 docking stations in the last 15 years and they all have allowed this. However i can't say this is a feature of all docking stations but i would think so.

Height-wise, yes, but some docking stations are pretty wide. You have just under 15" to work with.

It has two raised and rounded off tabs in the back that help you position it. It takes a bit of practice and more time to put it into place. I just switched from a dell docking station. The would highly recommend the LandingZone. It has some very nice features and the customer service is excellent.

It would be a very tight fit. Depending on the width of the docking station it may work, but there is only a 3" clearance from the stand's feet to the support shelf.

I don't know why I ended up a reviewer I did not purchase the corner stand I bought the rectangular stand. If you have a docking station I don't see why it wouldn't work for a laptop.

This unit can either stand alone clone or use software of your choice. There is a switch located on the back for unattended disk to disk clone. Yes this acts like a typical dual docking station, able to view both drives when switched from stand alone clone. I am a computer repair shop and the Orinco has outlasted other brands. A great bargain for the $$$! I also use AOMEI FREE cloning software for shrinking partitions down for migration to smaller drives. I purchased 2 of these and they both have outlasted the Calvary brand. Seems easier to use than Dyconns dubbler docks too. The only upgrade they could have done is move the rear switches to the front.

no, it's too bulky. I bought it for my office but can not find a docking station for it. I would suggest looking for something newer

sorry. I don't know the answer to that one. I did like the dock so much that I bought two of them.

Thanks. You answered my question. The docking station is a wired connection.

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

My "docking station" has a total of 6 USB ports. I can't determine which are USB2 vs USB3.

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.

You could put 2 3 rack systems side by side. It would probably take up a bit more space than a 6 rack system, but would work if you have sufficient space.
