I bought the Orico 5 bay docking station recently, it was titled as a cloner but also mentioned storage capacity so I assumed the cloning was an optional feature. I should have looked into it more before buying, but does anyone else use cloning docking stations for regular storage upgrades? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a bit paranoid about putting existing drives into it and having them get overwritten.

Edit: I should have noted this is the specific docking station. It does have a "PC" vs cloning switch, I basically just want to confirm the "PC" setting makes it function like a regular external docking station and not wipe anything put into the other ports.
