Thermaltake BlacX SE USB Hard Drive Dock Review
Everything USB posted a review on the Thermaltake BlacX SE USB Hard Drive Dock

Many households go through numerous generations of internal computer hard drives ranging from 2.5" laptop to 3.5" desktop / server class hard drives in a futile attempt to remain up-to-date with storage requirements, but what do you do when you quickly need to retrieve your photos or documents you filed away on that old 80GB hard drive? Enter the Thermaltake BlacX SE USB hard drive dock for SATA hard drives.

Verdict:
The Thermaltake BlacX SE is an average performer in the USB mass storage
class of devices with a great build quality. While we can easily
recommend the Thermaltake BlacX SE to anyone serious about backing up
their photos, music, documents, we are also excitedly looking forward to
an eSATA version to increase performance and to help future-proof the
design.

The Good:
+ Solid build quality
+ Protective hard drive cage
+ Supports 2.5" & 3.5" SATA HDDs up to 1TB
+ Hot-swap hard drive support
+ Power button to reduce power consumption when not in use
+ An integrated 4-port USB hub

The Bad:
- Average performer
- Short USB cable and power cable
- Half exposed drive electronics
- Only 2A DC power supply
- No eSATA port
