Questioning the need for this at all ?
Do you have internal HDs laying around that you're using as external HDs?
not exactly; i do have a few extra bare hard drives, but when i use them
it isn't for permanent storage
Seems better to outright buy an external HD from the start - no need for
this device.
the dock has a price advantage (unless you really cheap out on cases) and
a flexibility advantage; it has a bit of a complexity disadvantage for
those used to plug-and-play external hard drives
What am I missing?
i mostly use my dock for utility purposes, such as for temporarily
replacing a drive when another fails, or for testing whether it's a drive
or a case that is malfunctioning, or for getting data off the 2.5" drive
that was inside a broken laptop before sending the laptop in for repair;
but there are also many people who have stacks of bare drives that they
rotate through a dock like this for backups, some also move those backups
to another location until they rotate back in
