The iStarUSA xAGE-N99 HDD Docking Station overall was a pleasure to work with. From taking it out of the box, to setting it up, to getting it running, everything worked as it should. There are many different manufacturers to choose from when it comes to hard drive docks, so basically things come down to price, quality, speeds, and looks. This HDD dock does well in all categories, especially with speed. Sure, it looks a bit plain but it gets the job done and does it at a good price with overall build quality that is good. If you don't require eSATA connectivity, but need a USB HDD dock that utilizes all that USB 2.0 has to offer, this is the dock for you.
