Thermaltake’s latest hard drive docking station might look like the previous model, but around back is the blue-color USB 3.0 port. That means users can slap a hard drive into the dock and transfer files with speeds up to 5Gpbs. Amazing.

The BlacX 5G supports up to 2TB hard drives on both OS X and Windows and sells for only $49.99. Don’t fret if you rig lacks USB 3.0, the dock also works with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
