P.S. That Sabrent enclosure with a fan which you linked to looks to be much easier to use than the Rosewill's I've bought in the past, which involved many screws. I've never used a "docking station".
Presently, using SSDs, I've ordered these Sabrent cases which are great and very inexpensive : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OJ3UJ2S?psc=1 Enclosures will work with a drive in any format, it is the formatting of the drive that makes it compatible with a Windows or Mac machine, not the enclosure.

do the SSDs get hot? is it plug and play? on your last paragraph, is this the same as partitioning? i understand formatting drives, but the reviewer referred to "partitioning". this is the scenario i'm curious about: working laptop: Windows 10* old hard drive in an enclosure: Windows XP .... will the enclosure's software* attempt to partition the connected old hard drive to a certain format so that it could be read by the working laptop? *i'm guessing that you would download the Sabrent app to the working laptop?
