I knew that USB 3 is backwards compatible, but I wasn't sure whether the actual dock would work with USB 2. I have sent an email to the company that sells it and I have asked whether it will work on USB 2 systems. As you said though if it is compatible it would say that on the product description, and it doesn't mention it.
Found one that is backwards compatible with USB 2.0
Akasa Duo Dock S USB 3.0 for 2.5" and 3.5" SATA and SSD drives. (AK-IC08U3-BKUK) [AK-IC08U3-BKUK]
That looks like the right kind of dock. But I probably would not buy this particular one. Read the 'Customer Review'. The thing seems to have some problems.
I will have another look around but they all seem to have at least one review saying they are no good.
This is the same one you mentioned in your tutorial isn't it
Thermaltake BlacX Duet 3.5 inch eSATA Dual Bay Dock: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
If so I will buy that one.
I can't speak for WHS, but I have the single version Black X, not the Duette. I love it and have had no problems with it. Mine is USB/eSATA. I use the eSATA and it works very well.
Here are some:

Thank you very much for your time, could have sworn that was the same one though.
Sorry I am late with the answer. I looked thru all 3 links and did not see a single decent Sata2/3 enclosure. Maybe you have to settle for USB2 only for the time being since you only have USB2 ports at this time. There are quite a few 2.5" USB2 docks - some for little money.
