This seems like a useful tool for the desktop as well.

It seems to me that this was something that should have been done earlier on, along with including the adaptor bracket to convert from 2.5" to 3.5" for desktops. On the other hand, these kits aren't that difficult to find, or horribly expensive. Even then, what did most people do when they wanted to upgrade from one HDD to another? But when you're talking about infiltrating the mass consumer market as deeply and rapidly as possible, simplicity is always best, and it doesn't get much simpler than being able to buy a drive with all the upgrade tools already in the box with it.

I like the USB to SATA cable for copying files to your new hard drive... although it still presents problems. If you copy your important files on to your SSD you still have to repartition when reinstalling windows. You would almost need to split the SSD into two partitions with one for OS install and a second temporary partition for data storage. Once windows is up and going you could migrate the data from temp to OS and remove the temp partition expanding your OS partition.

I like it, but is this an add or an article ? Many SSDs ship with transfer SW and cables.
