Re: Hot Swapable Hard drive help

Quote:
Ok so what id like is a hard drive rack that is IDE to SATA cause i have 4 SATA ports 2 being used
1. IDE Rack + IDE-to-SATA adapter. (which looks like what u want doing this will allow you to hotswap your harddrives)


Other Options with different configurations.

2. IDE Rack + External 5.25" Enclousure. (external rack through USB)

3. External USB IDE Rack w/4 HD bay (i remember seeing one at "Fry's Electronics" made by kingwin? but they do exist. Allows for 4 hd to be connected to 1 usb or firewire.)

4. http://techgage.com/article/vantec_s...o_usb_adapter/
(external device so u dont even have to put the harddrives into your computer if you dont mind the externalness LOL)
