Best $179 I've spent in awhile. Had a 2 TB RAID suddenly go bad. Popped both drives in the dock and discovered that the HDs were fine but the drive enclosure had failed. Could have gotten away w/the USB version but Other World Computing had a special - dock w/1TB drive (purchased in case one or both of the HDs died) for $179 after rebate. Since I use a Mac at home and PC at the office, nice to have FW and USB.
To Professor Kaos (and anyone interested), the SATA port is solid, the dock enclosure for the 2.5 or 3.5 drive is snug (not a lot of wiggle room), and the usual HD removal protocols should be followed according to the directions (safely remove for Windows, drag to trash for Mac).
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

Forgot to mention that I did try Newer Technologies' Universal Drive Adapter on both drives at first - both came up DOA.
