Note, don't do what I did. I bought the 'Dou' but didn't realize you need a special SATA Controller to support it with 2 drives. (Which I could probably find for cheap - but it caught me off guard and I thought the dock was defective).

I've actually thought about one for a while, but I'm kinda in analysis paralysis and can't decide on what to get. I can spend a $$$$ on a sander and a dust extractor, but a small purchase like this ties me up in knots.
