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

So, the USB dock if for drives you plug into it. Again, at you properly
unmounting the drives in Windows before you unplug the dock, unplug the
drives from the dock, or before you power down the dock? As mentioned
when the drives are plugged in and were assigned a drive letter, do the
properties of the drive show it's optimized for quick disconnect or
better performance?
