This device is usb-based so don’t get the tied to a specific manufacture point. And all of the networks I attach to are much slower than the 480 Mbits of USB 2.0 . It’s these slow speeds that makes cloud computing less attractive for data intensive folks

Seconded.

That, and USB 2.0 is slow for data transfers. A direct SATA connection would minimize the bottleneck.

Interesting but I would have preferred to see a similar device that provides docking for SATA drives so I’m not tied to a specific manufacturer’s devices.
