10% off code (up to $10) for hard drives today: EMCHDD10C
Makes it $72.
Last time, I got the Samsugn 1tb drive + dock with the 15% off code and 10% bing cashback. So $80 - $10 code - $12 cashback (cashback was calculated for $80 drive and $40 dock) = $58. Works very well but no faster than my portable 2.5" drive. Can't argue with a free dock though (they are probably clearing out for eSATA and maybe USB 3.0)

Thanks, I've been looking for something like this.

I bought this last month works really good if you need to swap out drives all the time or set up ghost images for drives.

that's not an e-sata dock, it's usb 2.0, btw..

I got a Rosewill dock a couple months ago in one of these bundles and I've been having problems with it. I'll be copying files, burning a DVD, etc. and suddenly the operation will stop because the computer loses the connection to the drive in the dock. Sometimes I can get the drive to remount by unplugging the USB connection and plugging it back in, other times I have to reboot the entire system. (Further oddity: sometimes when I do the unplug/plug thing, I get the standard error message about removing a mounted drive, which makes me think the computer believed there was something out there. Other times I don't get the message at all as if the drive had been dismounted.) I have two NexStar docks that don't have this behavior and I have 9 or 10 bare drives that only exhibit the behavior when in the Rosewill dock. I've moved it to a different computer with the same results.

This could very well be just a dock with a loose connector or something, so don't take it as an indictment of Rosewill. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen similar issues.

no problems here for 1 month now. i've only used it a few times though, but each time was 100's of GB.

I've used the Rosewill dock for about a month as well with two different drives and had no problems. I right click the systray icon for USB for soft dismount and it works without any errors as well.
