Chromebook Compatibility of Plugable USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station?

Can I use the Plugable USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station (Latest ASMedia ASM1053E Chipset) with my Samsung Chromebook or new (soon to have) Chromebook 2?

We sent Mike an email regarding this question, and are posting the contents here as well for the benefit of others who may encounter this post while doing research:

We have tested our lay-flat dock with our HP Chromebook and had good results doing so. Since the underlying hardware and OS are similar, I’d expect things to work on the Samsung model as well.

We don’t have any Chromebook 2 models for testing, but I think it’s likely to work. (Though of course if it does not, by all means feel free to utilize our no-hassle return policy!)

Thanks!
