I found myself in a situation the other day where I would have had to spend about two hours to do a job that actually took me only 3 minutes to complete with the item we are reviewing today. That item is the Thermaltake BlacX 3.5" eSATA/USB Docking Station.

The job I was describing is as follows, I had disassembled one of my systems and I was taking some of the pieces out of that machine and using them in the new system. About halfway through I decided I would listen to some music, the only problem was all of the music I wanted to listen to was on the hard drive I had just removed from the computer I was tearing apart. I would have taken me a bit of time to take my other system apart and remove a hard drive just so I could replace it with the one that had the music on it. Then when I was done listening to it I would have to reverse the steps.

Thankfully I had the Thermaltake BlacX 3.5" Hard Drive Docking Station which allowed me to plug my hard drive into it and then copy my music from the Thermaltake BlacX on to my other system using the supplied USB cable.
