My asus g73 laptop doesn't but I just see that my crosshair-IV mobo has two of them. One of the uses I'd have for it is the perpetual migration of files between the two as I'm on the laptop in the day and on the desktop in the evening. I don't wanna network them as that would require both to run at the same time and wouldn't work on the road at all. What I had in mind were maybe a few deep recessed sata ports in computers into which one could half-insert ruggedized mobile ssd's built with that in mind, a bit like large usb drives but better held in a recessed port.
