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.

Its just cables & plugs so will work 100% > We use one at work quite often to extract data off old drives.

It could just be time to retire that old IDE. I wouldnt rely on it for backups of any description.
New drives are dirt cheap.

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!
