buy one or two BlacX docking stations and use any 2.5 or 3.5 raw hard drive. I carry my drives in VHS boxes, but if you use 2.5 drives you can find something smaller.
The advantage is you can buy as many drives as you want and drives are generally cheaper. If anything goes wrong with a USB drive, most of the timeit has to go back to the manufacturer to get the data off. With a BlacX and a spare drive you can use whatever tricks you can come up with to get the old data off (ie: freezing, etc..) Anyway, I've found the BlacX at different places for as low as $19.95. They also make one with a 4 port usb hub built in. I have different drives for different machines, but one handy docking unit. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Products.aspx?C=1346 Howard -- Howard Passman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Passman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16674 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60528 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
