i've thought about these mobile carrier options myself.  i always wondered if the connectors would get bent or something when you were removing and reinstalling the drives over time.  but i guess from your experience there's not issues with that.

i'm thinking with eSata that boots, it's even simpler to plug the drive in and go versus installing a mobile carrier.
