Andrew, All good points, and when data is what you want your quite right - speed is irrelevant.
Sometimes I image drives for different reasons, and thats why when I can get it speed is great. My eSATA dock has a power button, so I can cycle the power, but the only way to cycle the eSATA would be plugging/unplugging of the cable. The eSATA seems to reliably hotswap as long as the BIOS mode is set to AHCI and not IDE. Incidentially, once you have a disk imaged, with say a few bad sectors missed, other than lots of retries, are there any other switches you can add to the command line to either improve the ability to get all or part of the data on the bad block?
