    Including the eSata cable is a good addon as it provides a faster transfer over usb. I think that this is definately a good product to have on your desk, as it allows you to swap in harddrives with ease.

    One thing I like about drives docks is that unlike external drive enclosures, you can swap HDDs out with ease.

    Not unless your USB drive needs power brick to power it.

  • lewislau

    I guess, but you can have up to 4tb, i think i'd be worth it to bring the extra power cable along in a bag.

    how many hdds do you need? i'm sure 2 in this thing, plus one or two inside your case is more than enough, esp. since this thing can support 4tb.

  • http://twitter.com/werty316 Peter

    You can never have too many HDDs.

    If that did happen the only problem with that is it would prolly fry older USB drives.

    You dont' understand electricity. Things only draw however much power they need.

    White- it's my color.. To be honest, it's just a hdd docking station without card reader/firewire port.. Not a multi-functional dock.. You can see a nice one at:

    Hey, it’s Espow themselves, once again, writing fake posts just to try to send traffic to their site of cheap cheezy electronics! Hi Tom! Hi Jack!!! The Vantec is better than the paperweight Brando you sell.
