| 375021 | 2005-07-25 01:17:00 | Any computer shop should stock them. Where in NZ are you? Try a search in http://www.google.co.nz This will be the easiest way to find a shop, which maybe closer to you. Here's a few in Auckland, just down the road from me. www.edenonline.co.nz |

| 375023 | 2005-07-25 03:48:00 | The external enclosures are available in NZ. There's lot of shops that sell them. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 375024 | 2005-07-25 04:16:00 | The keyword being Serial-ATA, I haven't seen such a device on any pricelist as yet,and any benifit of it is non-existent. Stick to a reguler ATA (also known as IDE drive) and use an enclosure with firewire. |

| 375025 | 2005-07-25 05:55:00 | There are enclosures that accept sATA drives. There are also external PCI connectors so you can connect an external sATA drive in to the PC using an sATA cable. www.sata-io.org |

| 375026 | 2005-07-25 06:10:00 | The second keyword would be "New Zealand" heres a selection of enclosures on a recent pricelist I recieved. ViPowER ATA-133 IDE Mobile Rack, with keylock ICZ 2.5" IDE to USB2.0 HDD External Case, CE approved ICZ 3.5" IDE to USB2.0 HDD External Case, CE approved ICZ 3.5" / 5.25" IDE to USB2.0 HDD / CD-ROM External Case, CE approved ICZ 3.5" IDE to USB2.0 + Firewire HDD External Case, CE approved, support 200G HDD or above ICZ 3.5" / 5.25" IDE to USB2.0 + Firewire HDD / CD-ROM External Case, CE approved, support 200G HDD or above "ModiX"" USB 3.5"" HDD Storage DivX Player, Black.

That said there is still no reason to buy one unless the person has already bought a S-ATA harddrive, The transfer speed will be relient on the connection to the computer(USB,Firewire) not on how the drive is plugged into the enclosure. |

| 375029 | 2005-07-25 10:30:00 | I didnt even know there was such a thng as an external Sata connection, . . . . Is the above described unit no good for your needs? (ME-740S), Your computer shop of choice should be able to source it, though the importer has a habit of listing stock "in transit" from Australia . . google . co . nz/search?hl=en&q=ME-740S&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryNZ" target="_blank">www . google . co . nz |
