+ 1 million on this, I have one too and it's nice to have the SATA speed and be 
able to simply pop in an old SATA drive and grab the data off, or attached it 
to USB when you take it someplace.

As an IT consultant by night, worth much more than I paid! System won't boot, 
drop the drive in that bay and 9 times out of 10 I can get all the users data 
from it and about ½ the time get the drive to be able to be usable (boot) again.

Subject: Re: HDD Dock (USB or eSATA)

I have a BlacX Duet (dual dock) by Thermaltake. It supports USB and eSATA.  USB 
for versatility; eSATA for performance. I wouldnt recommend pidgeon-holing 
yourself with only one technology.

Its been a very useful tool, especially when transferring SATA-to-SATA (not 
within the same dock). SATA to SATA can considerably faster than having USB in 
the mix, but YMMV depending on your hardware.

I picked up mine on NewEgg.

Looking at getting one of these.  I've actually thought about one for a while, 
but I'm kinda in analysis paralysis and can't decide on what to get.  I can 
spend a $$$$ on a sander and a dust extractor, but a small purchase like this 
ties me up in knots.  What's the community using?
