Thermaltake BlacX Duet HDD Docking Station Reviews


Tue 2009-11-24 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
BCCHardware and Hi-Tech Reviews have reviewed the Thermaltake BlacX Duet eSATA / USB HDD docking station.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • BCCHardware:

    "The Thermaltake BlacX Duet is a handy hard drive dock that makes switching drives fast, simple and convenient. It makes hot-swapping external drives a snap and provides great performance combined with good looks. It works with both 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives making it one of the more useful external hard drive devices around. The addition of a second drive slot expands its usefulness and should satisfy pretty much everyone who needs access to fast external storage. Because drive installation is completely tool-less, you can swap drives in seconds for greater productivity. There is really nothing bad to say about this product as far as its features and functionality go, but dual eSATA drives may not work on some motherboards that don't support port multiplication. If that is the case, you can rest assured that USB2.0 won't give you any issues, but at the cost of slower performance."

  • Hi-Tech Reviews:

    "Despite the concerns about the chance for mishandling or being sent for a tumble we still like this device immensely. The thing that makes this device a keeper as compared to other devices of this type is the fact that it holds two hard drives and has an eSATA connector. If you need access to your drives and don't have the time to add them to you system, this is the perfect unit for you."

This is pretty decent HDD dock, but if you want to use the eSATA interface be sure that your port supports the port-multiplier feature, if not only one drive will be recognized.
