Thunderbolt to SATA

My problem is that I always have to get information off of my HDD's that aren't on my computer, and I really don't want to have to put in into my computer. Is there a good solution for this. Also it doesn't have to be thunderbolt, it could be esata, but i need to power the drives to if i use esata.

 

Here is an example of what im looking for.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

I was looking for something a bit faster.

no single 3.5" HDD can max out USB 3.0 anyway ...

 

usb 3.0 in theory -> 5 GBit/s

 

fastest consumer hdd:

Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ -> 210 MByte/s =  1.68 GBit/s
