I found that, also this version: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/925740-REG/seagate_stae129_backup_plus_portable_drive.html I passed on this, at least for now, because they both are sold as supporting Seagate drives, not as general purpose "enclosures" and that made me wonder about compatibility. One Amazon reviewer talks about using the 128 model with an SSD, supplemented with a half-pack of 3M Post-it notes as a shim. Also some comments there about heating issues under constant use. I may go there if my need for speed is not satisfied with my planned setup. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
