Summary: I had a few dying SATA drives that I didn't want to stick directly into my computer. Picked up one of these on the cheap, and stuck a bare 3.5" SATA HDD onto this.
Summary: Just got it today and I love how fast firewire still is but what screws a fast hard drive that works hard is a loose and faulty firewire cable that comes with it.
Summary: I bought this product to use as a dock for a 3.5" internal hard drive. Normally docks that convert SATA to FireWire 800 run in the $65+ range.
