I really do mean all forms of USB that come over a USB port. I wouldn't have much issue with taking a USB drive out of its caddy to get the SATA drive from inside, except that it would have to be an amazingly good deal to make it worth voiding the warranty, so I generally wouldn't bother. If I need directly attached storage I'd much rather explore options like SAS and eSATA, or even networked storage, before I would ever consider USB for a permanent installation.
