This is a great device for a bunch of reasons:
1. Backup. Using Acronis True Image 11 home, I can clone the drive in an hour. Put it off site and a bulletproof backup.

This is the best thing ever invented since water. think of just the few uses you can apply this device on:

This HD docking device is just so freakin' convenient! and...for under $40?
...oh, yeah....for you geeks out there, "size doesn't matter" ... Read More
