Well at least there is no rebate involved, that is a plus.
Oh, my mistake. Ben didn't point that out.

Is this really that much simpler and easier than an enclosure? I am getting pretty tired of using the Phillips enclosure I bought last year.

Mine broke when I slammed the hard drive into it. Now the drive is making strange noises too. Bad deal.

How do you store your other HDs that aren't in the dock. Won't they collect dust?

#4, definitely more convenient than an enclosure ... as long as you don't have a drive that runs too hot
