You're using a USB dock and get this problem. Does the problem still
occur when you do NOT use the USB, and instead move the USB drive to
connect directly to each computer?

I suspect it isn't a USB drive, but an ordinary SATA one. I have such a
Right. And it's a laptop computer so no way to connect a 3.5" dirive to
the laptop directly. Well, no, I have a USB data cable, a power brick
and power cable and bare connectors for an IDE drive and maybe SATA,
and if not SATA, they must make the same thing for SATA, but would that
be any more direct than the dock?
dock - a garish red and black thing (also has card-reader slots, though
I've never used them) with its own power brick; connects by USB (2 only,
I think)
I (used to) suspect it is USB3***. What brand, model? Even my old
Thermaltake BlacX is 3.

I've had it for 10 years or so and they haven't changed the design or
come up with a newer model in all that time. But it's USB3 now and I
think it was then too
or eSATA (though in my case I was surprised there didn't seem
to be much speed difference). Has slots into which you can plug a SATA
(laptop or desktop format, it takes both sizes) or (E)IDE drive.
***OTOH, if yours takes IDE, I guess it 's even older than mine.
Even t hough the dock is usb3, mY laptop only has usb2 and last night it
took 4.5 hours to clone a 150GB drive. I guess with USB3 it would go a
lot faster.
