Hard Drive Dock recommendations?

I have Thermaltake SATA HDD (USB 2.0 and eSATA)dock and it works perfectly with Mavericks on the iMac in my signature line.
I originally bought it from Best buy to work with my 2009 iMac and have used it with: PowerMac G5 quad, 17" and 20" iMac G5s, iBook G4s, PowerMac G4, my wife's 21.5" late 2009 iMac, and now my current 2013 iMac.
It's been great with simple iTunes/iPhoto storage, as external boot media, and especially for backing up and then reinstalling Oses on PPC Macs.
It's been great and would definitely recommend it.
I have a couple of the following:

I am pretty impressed with how well it has worked. I have never tested it with 4TB drives but the product description states it has been tested with 4TB hard drives.
This is a USB 2.0 version I am sure they have a USB 3.0 model if looked around.

I bought one of these earlier this month. Used it to copy data off drives that I suspected were failing. Worked great, with no problems on my iMac running Mavericks.

I am looking for a drive dock with 3tb or 4tb drive support too.
Any drive dock will work with 2tb and smaller drives. The problem is that my current USB 2 dock does not recognize larger drives and I need to find a new one.
