Thermaltake BlacX Duet - a cozy place for two HDD
After buying a laptop there was a problem - where to store information? The 320GB Winchester was quickly over, and a pair of abandoned 3.5 HDDs lay at home. First, a docking station for one hard drive was purchased. But the two docking stations on the table are too much. And after that, I accidentally saw a docking station from a well-known manufacturer. So - Thermaltake BlacX Duet.

The front side shows the device, name, logitip of the company - standard info
On the sides of a brief information about the device.
The reverse side of the package contains complete information about the device - a technical specification and a description of the main features of the device.
In details:
Specification:
Opportunities (by the way, in the word Feature - in my opinion a typo. If wrong, correct me):
Pleased with how the device is packaged. All the wires in the bags and in separate cardboard boxes. The docking station itself is rigidly fixed inside the box with the help of foam rubber.
Equipment:
1. Docking station
2. Any pieces of paper - manual, warranty (2 years)
3. Power cable
4. eSata and USB cables
5. Two silicone covers - for 3.5 and 2.5 disks.
The photograph is not the whole kit, since the docking station is already in use for about two months.
The docking station is made of high quality plastic. Produces a pleasant feeling - after the Chinese "thing" that I had - heaven and earth.
At the station one button - power. On it is an indicator of activity - one for each hard. Indicators blink when accessing a hard disk.
On the reverse side of the docking station are connectors - eSata, USB, power.
I really liked the device. It stands on the same table with a laptop - no vibrations are felt, it makes almost no noise. Although the noise level depends on the hard drives.
Good equipment
Silicone covers included
Lack of noise and vibrations
Relatively low price (at the time of purchase 1200r)
One of the few docking stations for two hard drives
I did not find the minuses, except that I wanted the power to be turned off separately for each screw, and not for both at once. And there are rumors for the operation of two screws simultaneously via eSata requires Port Multiplier support.
