Whatever that came first, Thermaltake's BlacX is the HDD
docking station that popularized this product in the industry, thanks to
Thermaltake's brand itself as well as excellent marketing that brought it to
the table. A few months later, we've seen a steady amount of such products
saturate the market -- if which most of them now communicate with your
computer with standard eSATA and USB 2.0 interfaces. Not only are they
compatible with standard 3.5 inch desktop hard drives, but also 2.5" units
typically associated with laptops and the such. You'll never know how useful
such a product is when you have a bunch of hard drives needed to be swapped
on the fly. Anyways, derivatives of the products in the same category go as
far as adding a card reader or even a dual bay reader. In a market economy
system, it's safe to say that having more brands to choose from isn't
necessarily a bad thing, since more competition will inevitably cause better
and cheaper products. Today, we'll be looking at a hard drive docking station
from iStarUSA -- you may remember them from our iStarUSA T5F-SS review a few
weeks back. This time, however we will be taking a look at the iStarUSA
xAGE-N99-SAU. Our only complaint is that... can't they come up with a more
creative, or at least easy to remember name? That said, let's crack the box
open and see how it goes.
