One of the most obvious avenues for USB 3.0 speed to make our lives a bit better is as an external hard drive access. Sharkoon, of Germany, is releasing an immediately useful SATA hard drive station with USB 3.0 connectivity. The Sharkoon SATA Quickport USB 3.0 is an upright drive station that should make cloning, migration and forensic drive analysis much faster. USB 2.0 drive stations are incredibly popular in those functions today and a 10-fold increase in speed will be welcome to all their devotees. This simple drive station allows for drives to be quickly inserted and removed quickly. Both 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives are supported and quickly locked into place. Unlike the mighty all-in-one station, Sharkoon's Quickport is simple and to the point with only 2 LED indicators and a single eject button. Sharkoon only ships with a AC adapter but they probably should include some sort of seat-belt, not for the drives, but just for the break-neck speed we are greedily awaiting. The SATA Quickport should be available next week for about $73. About Everything USB
