After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
Thermaltake BlacX 5G HDD Docking Station Review
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Monday, October 25, 2010
Conclusion
So just how fast is USB3 over USB2?? Our SiSoft Sandra disk benchmarks tell a story similar to what we saw with HD Tach 3. SATA3 and USB3 are clearly the fastest and nearly 300% faster than the same drive connected over USB2.
Conclusion
It is hard not to see the benefits of a HDD docking station. Backup, transfer, and recover HDD data are all things you can easily do with the BlacX, the 5G just allows you to do them faster than ever before.
