Convert's internal hard drives into USB 2 external hard drives so you can swap in and out without opening your box.

I use something similar, just keep the "shell" off and swap drives.
:thumbsup

I have 4 of them, not sure what I would do without them really.
DVD backups only go so far

i now know what the wife will be getting me for my birthday :Graucho

I thought about getting something like that but instead I just use multiple pcs and samba

Never really been into those things. I just have 5 HD's put in the system!

they also make a 1tb version (pricey)

nice...could come in handy

I use my 40 gig iPod

wow that things pretty cool i've never seen anything like it i have a external 20 gig from evergreen technologies it's got firewire and usb 2.0 support and it's onlly a little bit bigger than a wallet

i'm dumb, what does it do? i can take my hard drive out my machine, put it in there and hook it up to another machine. is that it?

if my OS is on the hard drive is an external hard drive with USB 2 fast enough to run programs?

I'd love to find a USB box that would house like 8 drives. Maybe I'll build one.

They're pretty darn fast, I don't know if all systems can boot off an USB drive though, check your BIOS.

hotswap drives are better

I take out the magnets out of my fried HD's...If you want a superior strength magnet rip one of those apart.

only $79.95 not bad

That I need!

yeah, plus 200 for the hd

You can buy similar ones with the harddrives already inside for cheaper then the kit + a harddrive.. at least you can by me. :)

ADS always comes out with those kinds of devices...

I remember back when ADS was just a small company and

all they made were those PC to TV adapters. Well those things

are kinda useless now but were cool back in the day.

those have been around for a while and they are screwing you on the price at that website

I have something similar for almost a year now

but they always burn my hands...

thats an awsome idea!

It's a piece of shit. I went through 3 of that companies FireWire version before switching to my current system.

been using 250 gig removeable (hot swappable) Firewire HDs for a long long time.


i can't understand why anyone still opens their box to hook up more HDs.


welcome to 2004.

That is just another toy that hubby will insist he needs.

Tried that too. Was not happy with the performance. :2 cents:

I got a few of those usb2.0 hd cases. Serves me needs. :)
