Oh man I could use this, and it's only $40... I have about a billion old drives laying around the house that I'd like to see what' was on them, but haven't wanted to deal with setup/install/etc...

In a perfect world, it would have a read-only switch on it, but since I only need it for home use, I can live without it.
