Introduction

I would like to thank Silverstone for supplying the test sample for review.


This is how Silverstone describes the MS05 on their website:

As the size of the external storage space increases, so should the data transfer speed and the convenience that external storage provides, the MS05 from SilverStone is a versatile 2.5” external storage with an added convenience of 3.5” docking bay design. MS05 is a time saving solution to transfer/backup files between PCs and/or laptops, with its eSATA interface supported on the 3.5” docking bay unit, and the Hot Swappable design on the 2.5” external storage; you can just insert and enjoy the 3Gbps high transfer speed with your PC, and not have to wait too long for information you already have.

Features

• Extensive compatibility with 2.5” SATA hard drives
• 3.5” docking bay for convenient external storage Hot Swap
• Easily share one hard disk drive between multiple computers
• Support eSATA for high transfer speed up to 3Gbps
• Backward compatible with USB 2.0
