Akasa is an old and very well known company; their group launched back in 1997 and they have been releasing retail products since 2000. The Baymaster S, which we will review today, is an upgrade of the highly successful Baymaster which was not released more than a year ago. Their only difference is that the new Baymaster S features USB 3.0 support, which makes a world of difference in terms of performance.
