seems like a waste of space, the cable version works just fine. I guess for the guy who wants to look like a geek, this will compliment his desk nicely.

These docking stations are great for having many different backup drives, they give better cooling than a cable version and have better protection against the drive falling off the desk. Not sure about this model though, have a different one from here a few months ago (the BlackX, works great).

Since when did you have to charge up an HD?
Anyway I've been looking at IcyDocks instead. Is this a cheaper alternative? How reliable is it?

I've been thinking about getting one of these just for the convenience. The price keeps on dropping too...
