Included is a USB and eSATA cable. I wanted to use the eSATA cable for faster transfers, but my older motherboard didn't have an eSATA port, so I had to buy an interface card as well. Before I bought it, I looked around for reviews and and the only negative things about the drive dock is that sometimes the power button on the back breaks. I keep mine plugged into my 20 year old Curtis command centre and I use the power button on there to turn it on and off. (NOTE: I stole the pics from the Thermaltake site and another site as marked on the pic)
The BlacX will take both 2.5 and 3 inch SATA hard drives. The button on the front is to eject the drive, but I find you also need to give it a gentle tug at the same time. The LED light glows when the unit is turned on and will flash red when data is being transferred.
I just need a storage case for my hard drives while they are not in use. An idea for Thermaltake might be a horizontal docking station with multiple bays where you can select which drive you want to read and the other bays are for storage.
