Pro tip: I used to image every drive by hand, now I clone them in a dock first

Back when I started at the shop in Reno, I'd pull a drive and run a full scan in the machine, and it ate 2 hours per ticket. Now I drop it in a $40 dock and clone to a spare before touching it, which has saved me from wrecking evidence on maybe a dozen jobs since March. How are you all handling drives that click before you run anything on them?
