[SOLVED] Hard drive duplicator: Silverstone TS12-C vs StarTech SDOCK2U313R ?

[jcm261]

Hi guys. I am purchasing a hard drive duplicator and hoping for some advice. It needs to be available in New Zealand (which leaves a few brands, like Sabrent, out of the running), feature USB-C, and not be cheap and nasty. It won't be doing heavy work: probably 2-3 backups per year, onto 2-3 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB 3.5-inch drives. I have narrowed it down to Silverstone TS12-C (NZ$170) or StarTech SDOCK2U313R (NZ$230). I have read reviews of each (mostly good), but wondering how the two compare. Any and all pieces of advice welcome!

I'd buy just about anything made by Silverstone before a similar product made by Star Tech.
