Thermaltake BlacX Duet Review
Conclusion
The Thermaltake BlacX Duet does everything you would expect from a hard drive dock and then does it twice as good. Having the capacity to uses up to two 2TB hard disk drives (HDDs) simultaneously on a single connection, this device gives you the freedom to tackle anything from backup, to disk cloning, to storage expansion with absolute ease.
Pros
- Supports 2 drives simultaneously
- Has both USB and eSATA interfaces
- Two drives can be used over a single USB or eSATA connection
- The eSATA interface is almost as fast as the internal SATA
- The USB 2.0 interface performs optimally
- Great value!
Cons
- None
The BlacX Duet is a solid performer and an even better companion for power users and casual users alike. After getting me out of quite a few jams, the BlacX Duet is this editor’s choice for external HDDs and it offers a great value to consumers.

Bookmarked this web page, will come back for more articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found just the information I already searched everywhere and just couldn’t come across. What a great web-site.
For the internal SATA part of the test, is that with the drives off the dock, or did you run a Esata to sata cable?
just wondering.
