+ 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.

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. -- ME2 On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 9:20 AM, Jonathan Link <jonathan.l...@gmail.com<mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com>> wrote: 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.
