I have a IDE/SATA USB plug
Newegg.com - VANTEC CB-ISATAU2 SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter - Adapters & Gender Changers
I use this because I keep all the drives I have owned save a handful that I didn't think of keeping (back in the 386/486 days they were only 120Mb tops)
All the other drives I have access via this cable system if needed. Drives are cheap. I make multiple backups. I also have web space that I FTP backup to.
I use Syncback to handle it. It has come in handy for clients, as I can remotely restore things for them.

as I get more SATA drives, I'm inclined to get one of these docks.
