Not so.
I ordered a TrimSlice just a couple of days ago and got notice today 
that it is being shipped.  It was a struggle to find it on their web 
site, I admit.  Yes, the links seemed to go to their Utilite product but 
if you persevere, you'll find one that goes where you want it.
As I mentioned: US$100!  (I think it was 99 actually but can't remember 
for sure.  Shipping was extra and not insubstantial!)
The low price may reflect the fact that they have stopped production and 
want to clear inventory so availability may come to an end but that is 
pure conjecture.


Thay accept PayPal which is my prefered method of payment.

Does the $100 model have an enclosure for the hard drive? (even if the 
hard

drive itself is not present)

Yes, that is the situation.

I'll give it a shot. These guys are pretty lean :)

I also suggest contacting public forum at
http://www.utilite-computer.com/forum/ They are trying hard to build a
reputation of being hacker friendly.

This round we we not able to promise enough unit sales for them to
adjust their priorities to include a SATA connection for rotating
drives. I'll nudge again in January to see if they can do a hardware
update some time in the first quarter of 2014.

Hi,

I looked at the Compulab website and the Trim-slice H is no longer 
offered. All
links to Trim-slice now go to Utilite. I was only able to find one 
vendor in the UK

which offered the Trim-slice for 208 pounds.

I suspect that the Trim-slice has gone out of production.

Perhaps, David Farning can check this out. Maybe we could work a deal to 
buy remaining inventory.
