Post subject:  Thermaltake External Storage
I found myself in a dilemma the other day when I needed some files off from a sick puter of mine and I really didn't want to install it's hard drive permanently into my current puter. I ran across this critter. I picked one up and It works great, Supports All 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDDs up to 1.5TB, and is hot swappable. I thought it might be of some interest to some of you as I know a lot of you carry external hard drives.

Nice clean looking thing.

I use a something nowhere near as clean, but pretty efficacious and a darned sight cheaper:

That covers SATA drives, and for IDE:

Maybe you'd find this price more appealing. :lol:

Hey Mcky do you have and use the IDE adapter?

Just wondering if you could use that to run an internal CD Rom drive externally on a laptop to play cdg's instead of a regular disc player?

$59 for a hot swap, eSATA USB interface? Nice find. Would work well for populating those external drives but the exposure sure isn't something I am going to want to carry with me. Perfect to sync a mobile storage unit with the master backup though.

Intriguing :)

I have one like it -- can't guarantee it is the same one with the way those things go.

I don't understand what you are getting at. Why would you not use the drive in the laptop itself? But the answer is, yes, they work in general. I have hooked up DVD writers with them, though they typically will not boot a system.

The drive I have in my laptop will not play cdg's but I do have a couple of internal DVD drives that I have scrapped out of junk computers.

I use one with a Lightscribe drive that I use for labeling my disks I burn to take to shows. It also burns disks. Should be no trouble, I would think.
