Any recommendations for a usb c or usb a dual hard drive dock with clone

Unfortunately, my trusty Inateck hard dock blew a capacitor yesterday. Sadly I cant find it on ebay or Amazon. It is the usb c version and they have for some reason discontinued it

However, I do find a lot of hard docks that have usb b for some unknown reason instead of the more modern and versatile usb c option or even bog-standard usb A.

So I am asking what dual drive hard drive docks with cloning do people here use?

Any recommendations that are as good my Inateck hard drive dock Please?

Update

I dont even think I could repair such ribbon cable as the connectors are very close to each other and seams to have torn slightly. I have put in for a Unitek Type C to SATA Dual Bay Dock Station which looks esaclty the same model as Alxum USB C & USB A Hard Drive Docking Station just with a different text on the front. Like, even the clone button, shape and all are the same. Why is that?

That ribbon is fixable.
I would desolder it from the board and attach it to a 10-pin header, then solder a 10-pin socket into the board.

The capacitor, put in a probably better than factory one :wink:

Parts cost, $1.92
