    I wish I could show you a picture of this SATA III disk dock. It takes 3.5" or 2.5" SATA disks plugged into it (up to 6Tb). They stick out the top and it sits on your desktop. Very cool. Oh, you can see you picture at amazon.com[^] I've never seen one like this.

    They're pretty common around tech circles. I have two and good days around here that's not enough

      This[^] includes eSATA support for super-fast transfers.

            I've had a cheap one that takes SATA/PATA disks for some years - they are a major bonus when you get a dead, suspect, or infected PC and you need to clean / test / disinfect it - or just retrieve info before discarding it. Means the nasty object can be accessed without risking the PC you are trying to read it from. And if the hardware is fried, it takes out $20 worth of kit instead of the motherboard on my good PC... :laugh:

              My PC case has one built into the top of it, the gyro effect when you pull a disk out while it is still spinning feels weird! :)

                I've been looking for a new case for some time now and was wondering which you have and if you like the in case SATA?

                New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site. I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

                  I have a Zalman GS1200 (http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=424[^]) you can see the dock in the pictures at the link. It is very handy when you have a bunch of drives lying around and want to move stuff about, test etc. the large case fan on the side helps to keep noise down. plenty of space for drives, PSU and also Corsair CPU closed loop cooler and Radiator

                    Thanks Dave I've been using a myPassport 1TB drive for backups and it works well but I think the hot swap option would work better for me.

                      I got myself something like that about a year ago that also takes 2.5 or 3.5 drives, well cheap and works on usb3 too. I love how cheap pen-drives are now so i can run linux or windows from them but they do get hot and seem a bit slow on usb3

                          I have two different versions of this. One older one that supports the peta and sata drives and a newer one that is USB 3.0 and is dual bay for cloning drives.

                            I have two (different manufacturer). They're very good for stuff like porn backups which you don't need online all day long.
