To me other than HDs and an 060 board it's the best bit of kit you can add to an A1200...

If you want to easily transfer data between one machine and the next or an Amiga & PC or MAC then the use of any type of memory card even with the cheapest multicard reader/ writer is a breeze and much better than those compact flash "HD" thingies...

You can easily hook up digital camaras, MP3 devices and basically any storage medium that uses USB with ease, there are lots of other stuff you can use it for (mice etc...) but for my own use and the ease of which it does it ie: data transfer then it's worth every penny and I would be without it...
