Thermaltakes’s popular BlacX gets a USB 3.0 update
The Thermaltake BlacX external HDD was very popular when it first arrived and the updated 5G USB 3.0
model looks to be even more popular. Resembling a toaster when populated, the device is intended for naked drives making it easy to swap out HDD without disassembling a cage. The testing that The Tech Report performed confirmed the speed, about twice as fast as a USB 2.0 connection and right in line with an eSATA connection.
