I have two Rosewill docks that are far better built than some other brands I use. And cheaper. The unit is heavier than most and less worry about tipping over.
As to the drive I have three of this model that I use for long term storage where daily speed is not an issue. I did get one that was bad but Newegg made it right inspite of a screwup with UPS. They would not accept the RMA without me paying almost ten bucks.

TiVo users beware of the Samsung drive. This drive will NOT work in TiVo. I wasted many an hour thinking that I had done something wrong in the upgade but as soon as I changed drives it works fine. I wish I had looked at the Tivocommunity.com forums BERFORE I bought this, where it was stated that this drive is a TiVo dud! This WILL work as an EXTERNAL drive for a TiVo, that is what I ended up doing with it.

Again buddhawood....as stated in the other thread, the samsung works fine with the TivoHD. Not sure what model you were using, but multiple people have reported success with the samsung drive, including myself.
meh - couldn't decide -- pulled the trigger on the samsung drive...added a pci - 1x card that has internal SATA II and eSata II (2 each). I know-I know...Sata II protocol is 3gbps and the PCI 1x slot is only 2.5gbps...but it was for $20 plus $6 shipping (was $10 off and cheapest I could find)...Rosewill RC-216 TY OP -- this is what I was looking for...now if Dell can only put those 1.5TB drives on sale again (2 for $199)

I used these Samsung drives on my TiVo Series 3 and TiVo HD and they have been working fine for many months now.
