WHy would anyone want to install a SATA drive into an external USB case - what difference could it possibly make?
Oh, that's easy!

If I upgrade the 80GB HD in my MacBook and replace it with, say, a 120GB model, I need to be able to do something with the leftover 80GB. Since the MacBook can boot from USB, I could put my original drive in a SATA<->USB (or FW) case and use it for storage or even just an "emergency startup disc."

it was last modified September 16, 2003, but they were too lazy to update it with modern machines through the G5 machines.
