The cradles are fine, but I'm not confident about introducing an IDE drive while the machine is powered up. I suppose if that worked it'd be fine :-) and in fact in the short term that's the route I'm going to use - although I'll probably power down the server while removing/inserting the drive.On Tue, Dec 02, 2003 at 05:00:30PM +1300, Jim Cheetham wrote:I've been playing with an IDE to USB2 unit, and trying to store about 50+Gb onto it, at reasonable speeds.
What about plain old IDE - in hot swap cradles ?
I could possibly go for a SCSI controller instead of the IDE ... so any experience of those would be good, too.
