The SATA HDD Stage Rack, at last

Now we're talking! Meet the PC and Mac compatible USB 2.0 SATA HDD Stage Rack. The value of this 2.5- and 3.5-inch compatible dock is obvious if like us, you've got gigs of unused storage laying around after years of SATA disk updates. Just pop in that old disk for instant expansion without having to first wrap the drive in a clumsy enclosure. Available now for €33 / $47. If you still don't get it, check the video after the break... you too will believe.

Not quite as sexy, but, you can use these for SATA, E/IDE, and laptop drives all in one device.

Do they only have one of these? The web site shows the unit all scuffed up. They should have used an unused one for their publicity pictures.

This product looks cool, but practically worthless. Seems to be only capable of doing SATA. For less you can get IDE/SATA 2.5/3.5 HDD to USB Bridge Adapter from GraniteDigital.com

I have been using that product for quite some time.

For that much in shipping they better hand delivery it and clean my house and cook me dinner. NOTHX!

If that's a FireWire one, I'll definitely get it.
And, if I can find it in Hong Kong, I'll get it.

YES I want IDE as well please. I only have a few SATA drives and there in systems.

I would not even mind buying a cheap adapter that I snap onto the EIDE drive to make it easy to plug into something like this. (if $5 so I can just buy a bunch for all my drives) to make them usable with something like this.

THAT would rock. This ? well its a tease here is what you want but its useless since it won't work with any of your drives :-( Grrrr
