I thought THIS looked like a handy thing to have from Maplin.

I've always thought such am HD dock would be a useful device.

Thanks for pointing that out.

This is not much better than just connecting an enclosed external USB HDD. It still relies on slow USB transfer speeds, which is not good for those that "archive loads".

It does not have an eSata connection, meaning it cannot be used with the eSata mod; admittedly, this mod invalidates the warranty. You can get these with both eSata & USB connections, which you can use now in USB mode and, when your warranty expires (if you need to wait ), are ready for the mod.

Rgds.
