There are two different kinds of users that will use this product: an enthusiast that wants to boot off seperate drives easily, and a server user. An enthusiast who has ever had to move a large amount of data around a few different computer systems can definitely appreciate the usefulness of removable hard drive racks. A user can also have different versions of Windows, or have seprate drives to switch between Linux and Windows. For this application, a user will need one full kit plus an additional drive insert. You will need two complete kits if you want to easily share a single drive between two computers.
This is also a good upgrade for a server chasis that does not include hot-swappable drives (like the I-Star D-300 chassis reviewed here). Users will need at least two for a RAID setup, which will take up two 5.25″ bays. If you have a RAID array with 3 drives, then I would recommend looking for another product that can easily squeeze 3 hard drives into two drive bays.
This is an excellent solution for a user that wants to easily boot between seperate operating systems, share drives between computers, and is a good solution for RAID arrays using two hard drives.
