It has the exact same idicator lights/ button as the Thermaltake I use at work.]]>Oct 6th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.genistra.com/images/toaster.jpg]]>Oct 6th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/
While it may be fine for some quick transfers, nonstop operation may become critical.]]>Oct 6th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/pc_gehaeuse/pc_jump_start/index_en.html which lets me switch on my tucked away computer from on my desk.
However, I'm guessing that in order to get full speed transfers from one drive to another you'd need to plug both e-sata into the host computer.
Re: Heat build up.
These things are great for techy types that need to recover/transfer data from multiple hard drives on a regular basis. I would never use it as as permanent external storage. There are no end of enclosures that are designed for that but docks like these aren't.]]>Oct 6th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/
That plus you can also use it for laptop drives, the only way to make it "perfect" would have been the option to just press a button and have it do a drive copy.
I have no doubt you can do that while hooked up but having it do that on it's own while you play Crysis makes "work" a lot easier

The only other thing I would like is an IDE adapter for it since most PC's in homes still use them]]>Oct 6th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/
So it'll be bought either by grannies in Florida, or by rappers and drug dealers?]]>Oct 6th 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/
I have 2 320gb EIDE drives that I would like to keep using (along with my newer sata's)...]]>Oct 6th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/
There are other IDE to USB adapters out there, but they don't have a dock like this. I don't think it would work as well anyway, the SATA connector is designed for hot plugging more than IDE.]]>Oct 6th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Oct 6th 2008 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/sharkoons-sata-quickport-duo-gives-product-category-some-creden/Nov 4th 2008 2:08PM
