  Duration of ownership: 2 Days

  Strengths: worked flawlessly and fast

  Weaknesses:none so far

  Overall Evaluation: My computer sparked and literally blew up when I tried to insert a usb thumb drive. Fortunately, my two internal sata drives were not harmed and so I was able to access the data using the BlacX. It worked perfectly and very fast even through the usb connection. It saved me all the time of installing the drives internally and setting the CMOS and wrestling with power cords, cables, screws, etc. What a time saver. Now I can use as an extra drive to transport and back-up data such as my music database. This scenario has happened to me several times and this is the first time I have recovered so easily.

  Strengths: nice, I also go the one with the 4 port USB hub

  Weaknesses:quit working, extremely poor company customer service

  Overall Evaluation: This dock worked great for about a week, and now I can't get it to work on both my Vista 64bit and Vista 32bit computers. I even tried it on a Mac and XP computer at my office and it didn't work. contacted Mwave for a refund and would have been charged a restocking fee or would have to ship it to the manufacturer who said the same thing. Manufacturer basically said that there was no reason it shouldn't work and that I would have to pay to ship the old one to them, and then pay to have them ship a replacement to me and it could take 6-8 weeks. Main let down was that Mwave wouldnt even do anything...definately a first for poor cust service from Mwave...

  Duration of ownership: 45 Days

  Strengths: Good Idea for IT guys

  Weaknesses:Constantly disappearing from ANY windows USB connection or platform. I see a design problem here. My wonderful new tool is completely unreliable.

  Overall Evaluation: I have had this about 30 -60 days. I am highly disappointed that it is so unreliable, I will have to find another. Big black eye for Thermaltake.

  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: Nice design idea.

  Weaknesses:Mine kept disappearing from XP and I would get constant delayed write failures. It did that on three computers. I gave it away and went back to my trusty Sabrent SATA/IDE to USB cable.

  Overall Evaluation: I had no luck with mine but it could have been a lemon. I find the SATA/IDE to USB cables work great and I will be sticking with that.

  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: Lazy mans access to internal hard drives. eSATA & USB.

  Weaknesses:The power cable is only 42" Long, extremely short.There is no cooling for the hard drive built in.

  Overall Evaluation: The "hot swapping" is poorly designed, because when you safely remove the device from windows BlacX doesn't power the drive down, so if you don't use the on/off button on the BlacX and wait 30-60seconds for the drive to finish spinning you will damage the hard drive. The hard drive gets extremely hot, even when there's no activity, would have been nice if there was a fan built in underneath that blew air up. The price is a little steep for all that it's doing, but I guess your paying for the name, although can't say anything specular about that. I would buy another one of these simply because it makes swapping drives easy if used correctly, and buy another power supply else where that actually has a decent length to it, since it doesn't take the standard computer power cord. Would have been nice to also include FireWire as well, wonders if you can use both USB and eSATA at the same time...
