Oh. I have one USB-IDE&SATA adapter:

and then I have their earlier model which was just USB-IDE (3.5 & 2.5).

I don't usually need both, although there's been times in the past where I've been rocking two.

I think the next one I'll get is something like this:

To potentially get the USB 3.0 performance increase on USB 3.0 systems.

Or one of this companies' devices:

which have "Write-blocking" which is good for data forensics, pristine drive images, etc.

Or also maybe get an actual dock for once, and keep it at home. I've yet to own a hard drive dock.

The one you picked out is nice, but I usually don't need the one-touch backup and included drive imaging software since I use software I already own.
