Looking at the design of the BlacX hard drive docking station, it can be deduced that Thermaltake had one thing in mind: to fill the gap left between external hard drive enclosures and hot swap caddies. Both of the latter have annoyances: external enc...
Slick and silent operation, Easy to use and very useful, 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives, Great performance,
None that we could find.
Very impressive performance and great accessory for any geek! To tell you the truth i have never seen a hard drive reader as this. Everything took less than 10 seconds to hook up and be on my way browsing trough files. Myself having hard drives with da...
The Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U External Hard Drive Dock is very useful for accessing files from hard drives. It has made my life easier because I no longer have to take my computer apart every time I need to get access to files on another computers hard...
Simple, Eject Button, eSATA and USB Compatible, Good Speeds,
None that come to mind
Overall The Thermaltake Blacx is a winner. I love the features it offers and the expandability of the extra drive slot. Another point I really liked is the use of an eject button I have used other docking stations without this feature and it can be a b...
Simple to use, Supports USB 2.0 and eSATA, Great build quality, Can be used with both 2.5” and 3.5” SATA hard drives, Holds the hard drive more securely than other docks
High MSRP compared to competitors
For those times when you quickly want to grab files off a SATA hard drive, Thermaltake’s BlacX hard drive dock is the perfect tool for you. It is easy to use and with the addition of eSATA not present in previous versions of the BlacX, it is just as...
External enclosures are a great thing for backup, but the BlacX is better than most enclosures as it offers a hot-swappable bay, and you can use any SATA drive up to 2Tb to store your information. A standard external enclosure only uses one drive and i...
Works great, Easy To Use, Eject Button, Slot To Hold 2.5” HDD, Reasonably Priced
Non That I Can Think Of
I have to say that this is a great docking station. With the way that its built to quickly, easily, and safely swap in and out your hard drives. These are all due to the fact that it has an easy to use, drop in slot for both 3.5” and 2.5” hard...
Nicely made, Easy to use, Dual interface, Supports drives well
Not as fast as I expected
I really like the Thermaltake BlacX, I think itll be remaining near my desk and it should get quite a bit of use. The BlacX might not be as fast as the Kingwin EZ-Dock2, but overall I think its a much better product as the design helps to support th...
The Thermaltake BlacX does exactly what it is suppose to do and that allowing you to access either a 3.5" or 2.5" hard drive via a USB or eSATA cable, thereby allowing you to either transfer files from it or place files on. Using the USB cable the spe...
