July 2, 200817 yr Since this was mentioned recently in another thread, I thought I'd post this sale I just came across. Seems a good deal for those looking for storage. Thermaltake BlacX USB Docking Station - dealmac.com
August 11, 200817 yr Author In case anyone is interested they're back on sale... Thermaltake BlacX USB Docking Station - dealmac.com
August 11, 200817 yr Just wanted to add that this is the non-esata model. Sill works fine, just not as fast. Transfering from BlacX to computer (or reverse) is fairly quick, but transferring from BlacX to another BlacX is not as fast, and thats where I notice it.
August 11, 200817 yr Newegg.com - Thermaltake ST0005U ABS Plastic 2.5" & 3.5" USB & eSATA HDD Docking Station - External Enclosures $45 This is the model I dont have
August 11, 200817 yr aardvark, one of the Newegg reviews mention that the power cord could be longer...do you know how long the cord is by any chance?
August 11, 200817 yr I have the USB only version at home, I can check the length of that one when I get back fromz work. It is quite short though, in comparison to all my other external hdd cases.
August 12, 200817 yr wow this is actually pretty neat. This is the first external "docking" hdd enclosure i've ever seen.
August 12, 200817 yr It doesnt. But air works fairly well. Lots of external cases dont have fans, and use the enclosure to cool the drive. I have a LaCie that does that, and gets very, very warm to the touch. But my WD drives in the BlacX are barely warm to the touch; almost room temperature. These are the drives I use: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
August 30, 200817 yr ah. my bad really long work day. the power cord is a bit over 3.5 feet (maybe by an inch or two)
