Looks like I don't actually have a USB 3 port on my two PCs! Admittedly they're older motherboards, but I can add some anyway. Why do I need them? Well it seems that the Hard drive dock runs on USB 3, not 2. Still, I've heard this is a lot quicker than 2, so other copying operations like backups might benefit from this as well. Looks like a trip tomorrow.
While I mention that Dock, it seems to have an "offline cloning facility". You stick two drives in and you can (assuming the 2nd is big enough) clone the contents of one to the other!!! That's one way to backup.
