The PC I use for editing is a tall tower computer and my USB 3.0 ports are in the center front of the case. The USB cable is not enough. I need to place the Atomos Accessory Kit close to my tower so the dock is high enough to reach my PC. I suppose I can buy extension cords, but it's not necessary. The USB cable is only about 9 inches long. That's ridiculous. It's not that fast either, and if you're moving a full 2TB drive it can take a long time. I can use eSATA instead, which is faster.
