Some PC Pro reviews seem to think it is slower
with the lowest giving 29meg per sec
and the fastest 94 meg a sec.

I have actually found two four bay HD enclosures on amazon which are an icy box
and a startech.
Odd that i couldn't find them originally when searching for hard drive docks.

They have usb or e-SATA connections and are more what i am looking for.
