Wouldn't it be nice to be able to move all your data from one PC to another all at once without a network? Perhaps you run a RAID array and have the ability to replace a hard drive (HDD) without having to take half your PC apart... Or maybe you just want to be able to easily swap out one HDD with one Operating System (OS) on it, with a HDD that has a different OS on it and not have to deal with the hassle of setting up a "Dual Boot" system. Well, with the ever plummeting price of the gigabyte and today's hard drive technology, you can have it. Although the idea of hot swappable drives are nothing new to IT professionals, it has finally come (affordably) to the retail consumer with the advent of Serial ATA (SATA). Today I will be reviewing the ICY DOCK Modiflash 722 (MB722, and it will make your dreams of moving your data all at once, swapping out a drive from a RAID array, and/or running two OS's from one PC, come true. For those unfamiliar with ICY DOCK, the company started out more than 10 years ago as an OEM manufacturer and has recently started producing hard drive enclosures/cooling solutions for the retail market.
