i know it's been covered before but i'm thinking about solutions for my eventually coming BMCC, and I came across this:

would this work? It seems it would sans laptop (though you'd keep one 'round for verification I'd assume). Just plug in the SSD and a HDD and let it go?
Thoughts?
for reference, i'm on an older MBP which has express 34 and FW800-- so without this my thought would be express 34 daisychain copying.
Only if you have a LOT of time to waste. It does a bit for bit copy, even of empty data. So if you had one tiny file on the source drive, it will copy the entire drive, even the empty space. This is not going to be fast.
Are you looking for automated dock functionality to pull of the data once you've plugged a drive in?
There are plenty of backup programs out there that would do that for you. The only part you would have to hack in is automating the triggering of the trim command to clean the SSD up.
