Cheaper than the thermaltake BlacX esata/usb which is 39.99 at amazon or newegg.

weird that the usb only version is only $1 less at newegg. I dont think that is nearly as good as esata

Is this just as good as the blacX?

Anyone try these yet? Seems to be a good way to clone drives.

I have the blackX version, and it's great. It doesn't support the 2.5 drives, though, and that's a nice feature if you need it. Never heard of Startech, so you're taking your chances.

startech is a very good brand. the startech unit has both esata as well as usb 0 the blackX version has two separate units (1 for usb, 1 for esata). I'm in for one!

#4, actually the one with esata has both esata and usb 0 I just got mine (esata version). Only thing I don't like is the length of the cables they provide with the blacx.

...but does it work?

"I have the blackX version, and it's great. It doesn't support the 2.5 drives"

Yes it does. I have a blacX right in front of me and it accepts a 3.5 or 2.5 drive.

"startech is a very good brand. the startech unit has both esata as well as usb 0 the blackX version has two separate units (1 for usb, 1 for esata). I'm in for one! "

Actually the blacX esata version has both esata and usb connections on the unit.

#3, I have the BlacX dock and it definitely does support 2.5 drives, just like #7 said. The connection is the same for 2.5 and 3.5 SATA drives and there is a cutout on the door that will let it fit (without the door having to fold down).

Pissers raised the price. Startech dock shows $37.99 for me now.

Might as well get the Thermaltake for a couple dollars more.

Dang, #8, you're right, thanks!

(walks off feeling stupid)

darn missed a sale.

Good deal. But, does it include eSATA cable?

Nice.

I was reading the reviews on the thermaltake and someone had different operating systems on 3 drives. they were booting their computer from these drives. I didn't know you could do that! almost like having 3 computers for a low price(roomates could have their own harddrives)

Thermaltake has their REFURB esata\usb version for 29-shipped.
