Not everyone who wants the portability of external storage wants the hassle of installing their drive into a enclosure. That goes double for anyone who has multiple drives yet doesn't want multiple enclosures! For this particular niche, a hard drive dock is a Godsend especially when you add in USB 3.0 speeds; or at least this is what SIIG hopes to offer its customers with their all new USB 3.0 hard drive dock with fan! Check out my review after the jump.

The Verdict:
While not perfect for all users, the SIIG USB 3.0 hard drive dock easily matches the performance of more typical USB 3.0 enclosures, yet has no equal in ease of swapping out one drive for another. Just be aware that your drive is not protected, as it would be inside an enclosure.

The Good:
+ Internal fan keep things running cool
+ Rubberized texture
+ Extremely easy to use
+ Very portable
+ Great for consumers with multiple drives

The Bad:
- Lacks an ejection mechanism
- No protection for the attached drive
- Has room for TWO drives yet only utilizes one bay
