This version of the docking station sold by Amazon says it's USB 3.0. I'm not sure if this just means it reads USB devices at USB 3.0 speeds or if connects to the computer at the faster data transfer rate. That question could be asked of one of the other buyers ('Customer Questions & Answers' heading).
If the connection from the device to the computer is USB 3.0, it might be worth consideration. True it would be a waste the £16 already spent but I've wasted much more money than that in my time.

Re: PC or laptop that is the question?
Now that is strange, as it looks like an identical item at twice the price from Amazon.In the description it does say comparable to USB 3. ??
Banggood also do a cheaper version by a couple of £ with a different cheaper looking power supply.
More research needed?

I have bought loads of stuff from Banggood, when I saw that I ordered one last Sunday. Of course it comes from HK, and I expect it will take at least another week before I get it.
And I could have got it cheaper. Arrrrrg.
As for the one from Amazon having different internals for USB3, somehow I can't see that. A miss print maybe?
Mart.
You are right. I have done some searching, and the front of the Amazon one is different and has 2 USB 3 ports.

sorry about that Emjay but it would pay you to look on E-bay first, I find they are best on prices.
But I just did not think that eBay were doing them. My wrong.

I'd personally go for the one on Amazon, although EMjay could wait to see if the one that arrives from Banggood is satisfactory enough for requirements.
Edit: The £24.99 one that says, 'Supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA and IDE hard drives.Compatible Operating Systems with Windows 2000/ XP /Vista/ 7/ 8, Mac OS 9.1/10.8.4 or above.'
