Introduction
When eSATA came out, it was built for high speed, direct drive access. USB 2 and Firewire couldn't match the speed that eSATA had and even though eSATA wasn't powered until recently, most of the devices needed external power anyway. Now that USB 3 is out in force, are eSATA's days numbered? Hopefully not, but Thermaltake has updated their BlacX line with the BlacX 5G which drops eSATA and adds USB3 connectivity. Perhaps they are numbered.
About Thermaltake
Packaging
The BlacX 5G is packaged in the traditional Thermaltake packaging of black with orange and red accents.
The back of the box has various specifications in a number of different languages. Did we mention this uses USB 3?
