External SATA Drive Caddies

Is there such a thing available as an external SATA to SATA drive caddie? I'd prefer to connect by SATA than USB 2 and all the ones I've seen so far can fit SATA drives inside them but connect with either firewire or USB 2. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

dont think thered be a point really, as u wudnt need a caddy, u would just plug the hdd straight in if uve got a sata cable runnin from your comp to outside.

Surely you'd still need a caddy to cool the drive and keep it clean? I have seen them in the US but can't find them here.

Ditto, I have exactly the same one. It has a pci bracket that extends from a sata cable on the motherboard, looks pretty neat, along with the option of being able to use usb2.0

What is the model number of the one you have?

Thanks, I will give that one a try.
