How to Pull Drives Faster

I do quite a bit of free lance, and professional IT work, and more than I would like, this requires me to pull a clients drive, and recover files off of it. In the past that meant removing the drive out of the client's computer, turning my work station off, opening it up, connecting the power and data cables, and firing it back up, while this works fine it takes far more time than I would like, so i've been looking for a better way to do this. 

The Kingwin 2.5" and 3.5" Hot Swap Rack does just that, by letting me slide drives cuts out a lot of that time for me by letting me quickly plug a 2.5" and/or 3.5" drive in to this bay directly from the front of the case, I can now effortlessly work directly on disks in need.

While, the build quality could be better for the price, it does exactly what I need it to do, for going on 2 years now. Leaving me with my only real gripe that there just barely isn't enough room in the 2.5 bay to leave the average drive shield on which would in turn save me even more time and frustration, but with how much faster this is than directly attaching headers, I can't really complain.

For my drive pulling workstation, i've held on to an old motherboard that still has IDE support; a real must have for the occasional dinosaur that wonders in to my office. This unfortunately means that I can't really speak for the usb 3.0 slots good luck finding a board with IDE and USB 3, but they seem to be up to par, and given how well constructed the rest of the bay is, I would say they work fine.

Now I know that many of you are going to be wondering why I would want to install hardware to do something that a simple USB adaptor can pull off arguably better, and you ask a great question. But for many of the jobs I work on, I need direct access to the SATA or IDE boards, which is something that USB simply just can't do. However in the situations where I can, this little guy has became my best friend.
