Questioning the need for this at all ?

Do you have internal HDs laying around that you're using as external HDs?

Seems better to outright buy an external HD from the start - no need for this device.

What am I missing?

How often would you plan on using it?

For under $10 you can get a cable which does the same thing
(and even, in some cases, one which will also support SATA).

i have such a cable and i also have a dock -- the dock is so much more convenient than the cable (which is really two cables, one for power and one for SATA to USB) that i use the cable only for ad hoc use of DVD burners, which don't fit in docks and for which external cases often cost more than the burners themselves

the cables units are cheap but so are the docks; i got my in in a MicroCenter clearance bin for $30-something, and it does FireWire, eSATA & USB
