Hot-swapable USB hard drive enclosure
« on: August 22, 2008, 08:44:20 AM »
I have been looking for something like this for a while.  However I am trying to find one for an IDE connection.  Does anyone know if any other companies make this type of enclosure?

Ok, I don't think you really got the gist of what I am trying to find.

I'm looking for a removable drive enclosure that fits in a 5 1/4" drive bay.  Most of them connect in the bay with a Centronics style connector, but I want one that uses USB so it will work as both an internal and external drive.
