It also does a good job of cleaning up after other people's messes. It is
usually available for $50 or less, especially in bundles with other tools.
If I had only one machine, I probably would not have it. With 5 machines,
and with a variety of unpluggable drives in support of various environments,
I find it to be a lifesaver when it is needed at all.
