Thermaltake ST0019U BlacX 5G HD Dock - 2.5/3.5 SATA to USB 3.0, 5Gb/sItem#: T925-1506  |  Model#: ST0019U

Expensive Paperweight

Defective right out of the box. Replaced with another brand.

6 Months

I used this device for 6 months and it stopped transferring data at that point. I transferred about 1.7 terabytes of data before it no-longer worked. I also left it on idle for several hours every time I was transferring data. If you plan on using this device heavily I would be prepared to ship it back to the manufacturer for the warranty replacement guarantee. I had no problems with the customer service through Thermaltake.

It does what it's advertised for.

Works fine. But the device is a bit big and could of had more features like a card reader or something. As for performace, well it's as fast as the hard drive will read-write the data...

Performance and reliability good..

Just ordered this to copy data from USB to new PC. I was worried when I read reviews of some of the other competing docking stations about disconnects. I had this connected for about 3 days xferring data back-forth without any issues.

Almost perfect dock

Bought this as an upgrade to the Thermaltake HD Dock that featured both USB 2.0 and eSATA connections. Solid overall device, has no problems interfacing with both 2.5 and 3.5 SATA HDs, and the USB 3.0 transfer speeds are great. Only real drawback is that it lacks the eSATA of it's predecessor, but that's a minor quibble at best. Fit expectations, and happy with the purchase.

Expensive but worth it

Not much to say about this product, really. it's a relatively simple device with no moving parts. Works very well with both 3.5 and 2.5 inch hard drives with decent transfer rates. Build quality is not bad but fit and finish leaves more to be desired. The drive eject button has significant side to side play. However the power and USB cables fit nice and snug. Quite happy with it overall.

Great Product

Purchased this item and was very happy with the purchase. The item is of very high quality, well constructed and blemish free (quality control is very good on this product, no damage what so ever). It is a true plug n play unit, just connect it to a USB port and the computer installs it automatically. I inserted a 2.5 laptop hard drive and it read the drive with no problem. The unit operates just aa the box and ads say it would. I consider this money well spent and overall a great unit that was added to my home business computer hardware collection.
