| 1336098 | 2013-04-10 23:13:00 | @Rod. That would do it. @zqwerty. Not sure you understand how docks work. Unless both the sockets line up the disk won't slot in. End of. @1101. True. Anyway, was just hoping to get some more use from my 250GB IDE for off-site backup storage. |

| 1336100 | 2013-04-12 03:23:00 | I had two of those USB-IDE go crook hence the docking station. I am not relying on the IDE for std backup. There are already two ext drives with all images on them. This was a fire/burglary off-site precaution. Of course, there are no guarantees with any drive, new or old! |
