lol yep, you were in the dark.
These adapters have been out now for nearly a year. they work just like a regular external HDD but are even cheaper and easier to replace :D

They are a bit large, but cool very well.

Listen2,
I recommend you an aluminum case, the are better for large HD (200GB or more). Some cases couldn't work with more than 200GB. Check the one you're going to buy.

I have a desktop PC (kind of rackmounted in my "trolly"). With a couple of removeable hard drive Caddy's in it.

It's a different thing. Your caddy's are useless if you don't use that equipment. With an external USB (Or FireWire) Hard Disk you could use it in other Computer in case you need to and could be in hot plug, you don't have to power off your PC to take your USB disk. It's cheaper, faster than a laptop harddisk. For Desktops could be a good backup.
