My Western Digital Passport HD dock works with only one of the three or four 2.5-inch Passport HDs the company markets: one won't work because it's got a sliding port cover; another won't work 'cause it's got a rubbery fold-back port cover; another won't work 'cause it's a hair too thick (to accommodate triple interfaces) etc. If most of a single company's HDs don't work in its only dock for that line of HDs, I doubt the "colors and creeds" thing's gonna work, at least until there's some standardization on interface locations, and that seems...

Having said all that, kudos to WD for making a dock one of their drives works with. It's just a shame so many of its drives won't because of engineering differences incorporated into them when the dock was only a glint in an engineer's eye somewhere.]]>Jan 18th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/buffalo-dualie-hits-apple-store-shelves/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/buffalo-dualie-hits-apple-store-shelves/Jan 18th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/buffalo-dualie-hits-apple-store-shelves/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/buffalo-dualie-hits-apple-store-shelves/I went back tot the original engadget story from CES: it looks like you're right, that the dock only accepts either of two buffalo drives it can be ordered with.
But i think you do the writer a favor saying the sentence is just confusing. It's worse than that. It says:
"this is a dual-purpose docking station, accepting [italic]hard drives and iDevices[/italic] of most colors and creeds..."
I keep prodding engadget (and other blog) writers to [italic]write[/italic] better because if they don't, their technical expertise is wasted.

Sadly, that is all they have.]]>Jan 18th 2010 3:18PM
