  • Hot Swappable, Easy setup, Reasonable price.
  • Only USB connectability (Thermaltake provides eSATA with a newer model)

  • The Thermaltake BlacX Hard Drive Docking System seemed like a great idea to me prior to getting my hands on one, and I am no less impressed after the review. While not a mobile solution, it is much more convenient than a traditional hard drive enclosur...

  • As mentioned in the introduction, the BlacX USB Hard Drive Docking Station is such a simple, yet brilliant idea and I am surprised nobody else thought of this sooner. For those users who have multiple hard drives, both 2.5" and 3.5", and dont want to ...
