Are Anker docks even still available?
Their site lists nothing and cannot find them on Amazon either.On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 12:12 PM, bigfish@pacbell.net [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

I don't know if you'll find Firewire as well.On Wed, Jan 24, 2018, at 6:00 PM, John Moore bigfish@... [Avid-L2] wrote:
I've had a couple newertech voyager q hard drive docks for years. I found one didn't work well with on my work computer using usb 3 but it worked fine using esata before they changed my work computer to a usb 3 card. The other one was just the opposite and worked well with usb 3 at the work computer but not so well with esata on my home computer. I kind of chalk these behaviors up to varying chip sets in the various components. It seems along the way manufacturers will make a change in the chips they are using or maybe it's just a different run of chips from the component manufacturers. I'm just guessing out loud but this has been my experience over the years.Given I found the voyager I use at the work computer with a physically defective usb 3 connection I am now in the market for a replacement dock. The newertech voyager q has all the various connections I run in to and they have basically worked with the quirks I've seen above. I'm curious if any of the more tech savvy folks have a really great hard drive dock that handles usb 3, Esata, and Firewire 800/400 that might be a bit more dependable or robust than the voyager. At 70 bucks at B&H it's not a big ticket item but if there is something that holds up and performs better I'd look into it. TIAJohn Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
