  • Exposed hard drive circuit board, No eSATA connection
  • The Thermaltake BlacX SE hard drive dock provides a convenient way to access 3.5" and 2.5" SATA drives without installing them in a computer or in an external drive enclosure. You can swap out drives quickly and easily, and while the speed isn't what...

  • 4port USB hub, 2.5" and 3.5" HDD Support, HDD docking action, Easy HDD swapping, Good performance
  • Short power/USB cable, No eSATA or FireWire
  • This is really an excellent product. There are many hard drive enclosures on the market, but sometimes you simply want to access a single hard drive to get some data off of it and don't want to mess with screws. The BlacX SE allows you to easily acces...

  • Power cord could have been longer, Drive back open to dust, Cant lick the drive when in operation
