1237202 2011-10-13 00:55:00 So we've got a bit of a project going on and we're looking to pull out and put in a lot of HDDs to a specific machine.

What we want is the ability to slot them in and out easily without having to muck around with the data / power cables, so some description of internal caddy system sounds the best (And the tidiest -- Not keen on USB enclosures half open everywhere).

I've managed to find this:
pbtech.co.nz

Perfect, we'll take a few of those, but we're also going to have a complete variety of:
2.5" SATA
3.5" SATA (Taken care of as-per above)
2.5" IDE
3.5" IDE

I'm semi-stuck on the rest...

We're gonna have a couple of PC's so a semi-reliable supplier (More than just a "once off" sort of thing) would be ideal.

If anybody is able to help point me in the right direction, that'd be much appreciated! :thumbs:

Cheers


Chill.

1237203 2011-10-13 01:14:00 I think you'll struggle to find IDE models these days. CYaBro (73)
1237204 2011-10-13 01:31:00 Yeah, I haven't seen any for quite some time. Might be time for a few new SATA drives and a bit of a cloning sesh. :) wratterus (105)
1237205 2011-10-13 01:35:00 OK, any ideas on the 2.5" SATA side of things then? :D

I was coming to a similar conclusion about the IDE, hence asking here ;)

1237206 2011-10-13 01:41:00 I don't know that I've seen an internal 2.5" one.

What about something like this?

Esata. Cheap, too. Possibly not quite as tidy, but still reasonable.

Got a few of them here, very handy.
