The only down side is that at $29.99 there isn’t any price advantage versus buying a dock or full enclosure.

There is if you want to use a Blu-Ray burner with it as well. USB 2.0 won't keep up with a Blu-ray burner at 8x and above (36MB/sec max).
I have the ByteCC BT-380 but am awaiting my USB 3.0 pcie adapter to arrive to test with a hard drive.
