Time involved messing around with the external enclosure screws, for one thing. And what about wanting to copy data off of drives that are still mounted in a PC case to another computer?
I see this gadget as a boon to corporate espionage. ;) That's a joke, BTW. Besides, I assume the price will come down when China starts producing cheap knockoffs. The device is really just a powered 40 pin IDE to USB/FireWire adapter; nothing magical. The external enclosures are nice, but they are not ideal for dealing quickly with a pile of hard drives.
