  • The Thermaltake BlacX Duet is a great storage device that gives you speed and affordability. Both USB 2.0 and ESATA ports are amazingly fast and can definitely transfer large and small files alike. I would definitely recommend using ESATA port if you plan...

  • Abstract:  If purchased more than a year or two ago, there's a good chance that your current desktop doesn't have USB 3.0. The chances of it having a PCI Express x1 slot, however, are much greater (the tech has been around since 2003). Installing an add-on card...

  • Abstract:  Thermaltake released the first version of the BlacX a few years ago. We actually »reviewed the unit back in August of 2008. Thermaltake was the first manufacture to market a USB enclosure as a hot swappable media platform. It made people think and want to...

  • Our first impressions of the BlacX when we reviewed it 2 years ago were very positive and since that time has performed well as an external storage device for hard drives connected to a HTPC. It has performed well streaming video up to 1080p. That bein...

  • With an incredible ease of use, test results that blow away competition and looks to kill, the BlacX Duet is really a great unit. Build quality is great, it's easy to use. One major online retailer has it for $44.99, an absolute steal. The amount of t...

  • Although I am unable to take full advantage of the Thermaltake BlacX Duet's dual drive capabilities with the eSATA interface, I still find the hot swap convenience of the slower USB 2.0 and eSATA interface to be extremely compelling. Cloning hard driv...
