According to our docking station for hard drives expert
The Ewent EW7012 SATA docking station 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch is a convenient device for backups and hobbyists. You can insert 1 HDD into the docking station, connect it to your PC, and transfer a few files or your whole system as a backup to the drive in one go. The docking station supports 2.5-inch HDDs with a maximum thickness of 12.5mm, plus all 3.5-inch drives. Thanks to the built-in LED lights, you'll know when the docking station is in use and whether it's working properly. Use the USB 3.1 (generation 1) connection to transfer files at a speed of 5Gbps. On top of that, you don't need to install any software thanks to plug&play, so the docking station works straight from the box.

The Ewent EW7012 was promising upon arrival, compact, feels nice in the hand and is light. Given that the postman was a bit early (phew? or thank you? PostNL) I had enough time to experiment with my new acquisition. Its intended purpose: To recover data from my 3TB hard drive.
Plugged in straight away, carefully slipped in my ó so fragile hard drive and the familiar sound of Windows sounded that a new device had been found. Nice!
I couldn't see the drive yet, strange. On to disk management then! Much to my surprise, Disk Management only sees a 1.6TB disk and marks the disk as a "Protected GPT Partition", which is usually the mark that the disk cannot be read due to an unsupported standard. Fine, the Ewent EW7012 does not support GPT, other disks (which I know are MBR disks) are displayed as usual.
After some searching on the internet I came across the following article on the Ewent website: http://www.ewent-online.com/faq/index/quest/q/6463 which indeed confirms that GPT is not supported, too bad.
Still a nice purchase since I can now read my other hard drives, but unfortunately not an option for my 3TB Hard Drive :(
