Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
While I don't consider myself an audiophile -- especially when compared to some of the people in my office -- the Transporter produces some of the cleanest sounding non-live andio I've ever heard.
The box also feels robust, the two displays are cool (especially for displaying "Extended Track Information" -- though the limitations are a tad annoying), I love the fact that it has BNC and XLR connectors (genuine Neutrik XLRs, at that -- not some cheap knockoff) in addtion to the RCAs that plauge consumer equipment.
The fact that it has three flavors of digiral inputs -- including AES/EBU is very cool.
You can do everything that you need to using the buttons on the front panel, helpful for folks like me who tend to misplace the remote frequently, and the remote control protocol for integration with home automation systems is extremely robust (I'm an automation programmer).
I really like my Squeezebox, but this is one of the coolest toys I've played with in a long time.
One minor annoyiance is the WiFi antenas on the back of the thing... It really disrupts such a great design (I have the silver version) whith those sticking out of the back.
