810187 2009-09-14 20:06:00 Good morning
I have searched for a docking station so I could use some of my "old" IDE drives for backups.
The best option so far is here (usb.brando.com) though I'm not sure as it is a site in HK.
Does anyone know if there are any IDE docking stations available in NZ or close by?
Thanks

Because in a similar dock station I can also use my MBP sata drive after the upgrade.

Get a USB to IDE/SATA adapter.

see this (media.bestofmicro.com). Ether that or similar so I can just plug in the 2.5 or the 3.5 HDD. This one shown here has also card ports.

Speedy, yes. Though the problem is, it is for sata only. I may contact the guys to see if there is a chance for IDE..
