it very very usefully and now that own one i can say i would pony up the hundred bucks for one

but then again a good part of my work is people bring me damage hard drive and asking me to to retrieve personal data off it

so i built a linux system using bactrac 3 just for that purepose and that all i really use for

it been handy as hell

i also bought a second one i use on my personal computer in house i tossed an 300gb hard drive in it and use like a backup drive but it nice to be able just swap out another drive for when i cant sleep and decide to work in bed

And who was the moron who invented eSATA, a recent interconnect with NO PROVISION FOR POWER?

The current state of high-performance interconnects is pretty sad, what with Apple giving up on FireWire and no real replacement coming up. And no, USB is not a replacement for FireWire. USB is for mice, modems, and keyboards; not mass storage.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/@Patriks7: Funny, :-P ;-)]]>Dec 2nd 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 3rd 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/

If these things are to expensive for people, similar devices can be had for less. We use some at work that support 2.5 and 3.5 IDE and all SATA I/II. It is just a cable device with the connectors and if you search around, you can pick them up for about $20 or so.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/]]>Dec 2nd 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 2nd 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/

sorry for ranting.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/
Have you actually used one of these docks? I have the Thermaltake Blacx eSATA/USB dock, and it is easily the best storage-related purchase I've made all year. I have all sorts of other enclosures (trayless or otherwise, toolless or otherwise), but the Blacx is the most robust, convenient, reliable and fastest method I have of connecting a SATA hard drive to my computer. I'd love to have one of the dual-slot versions.

To Professor Kaos (and anyone interested), the SATA port is solid, the dock enclosure for the 2.5 or 3.5 drive is snug (not a lot of wiggle room), and the usual HD removal protocols should be followed according to the directions (safely remove for Windows, drag to trash for Mac).]]>Dec 3rd 2008 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/newertech-intros-quad-interface-sata-hdd-dock-of-its-own/Dec 3rd 2008 4:56PM
