Anyone still use hard drive docks (not bays)

 I upgraded a lot of drives to larger sizes so I got these WD 320 Blues lying around.  I was thinking of using them to store drive images.

    Well I do for a start.

    Docks are useful when you have a few extra internal drives kicking around that can be used for backup/long-term storage.

    I have a USB3 dock that takes SATA drives and 2 3T drives to use in it.
