Cables Unlimited USB 2.0+eSATA to SATA Hard Drive Dock w/ 2 Port Hub and Memory Card Reader - USB-2155

Pro: In addition to the HD attachment, has slots for CF, SD, other memory cards & acts as a 2 port USB hub, so clears some desk space & a offers extra USB port. Con: Made of cheap feeling, flimsy plastic, which normally I don't care about, except due to the hinged insertion of the hard drive makes it feel like its going to break each time its used. Additionally, the memory card insertion is fairly inexact and you have to fiddle with it to get the card in. Paid $25 on a sale, but its not worth that. The drive is placed into an attached carrier, which is then pivoted closed and is supposed to connect the drive to the contacts, however, its a crap shoot as to whether or not that happens. The carrier closes unevenly and it rarely plugs into the contacts on the first try. Unfortunately, I was away when received, otherwise would have sent it back. I have a Thermaltake BlackX for about $20 (after a rebate) and its a far better dock, although without the card slots & USB.
