I've got 4x 400GB drives which im constantly having to swap in and out of my PC (i only plug them in when/if required, to reduce unnecessary 'wear and tear'. I've been using some swappable bays/caddies, but i've had 2 die on me now, so i'm now looking to get something like
this enclosure
They're totally separate disks and that's the way it's staying, in NO WAY do i want any kind of RAID setup!
Sooooooooo i just have 2 questions really:
1) Does anyone know WHERE i can actually buy the above product
2) Does anyone know of some good alternative brands? (Icy-box, Raidsonic, Stardom all seem to be the same OEM from what i can see... all of their sites are virtually identical, and the ONLY reseller they list, doesn't have an online store) :/
It's either that, or i buy 4x separate enclosures like [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=543134]this one[/b]
Ohh and one last thing, all my drives are 3.5" PATA ones... so no SATA enclosures please
