[itdiscuss] USB 3.0 Hard Disk Drive Dock for both 2.5" & 3.5" Hard Drives

[Tony Dye]

This is interesting! Is hot-swappable a quality just of the dock, or don't
the drives need to have that capability too? This would be a nice piece of
gear to have handy. (let me know when you get one and I'll come look at it
:-)

Questions for the IT Discuss:

*	Has anyone used this system or anything like it?  
*	Any USB 3.0 cards you would recommend to enable a computer to use
this device?  
*	Do you know of anything else like it?  
*	What has been your experience with USB 3.0?  
*	Is it as fast as they claim?

I see this as a potentially useful device to move large amounts of data over
a short period of time connected to the IT Specialist desktop.
