Which Caddy

Bikerz · 6 May 2008 at 20:54

I need a external caddy to take 3.5" sata drives and plug into PC via USB 2.0 at the least, firewire or Esata be good but not needed, Any advice on brads to go for? Never brought one before.

Cheers

Akasa Integral P2 eSATA/USB 2.0

Icy Dock MB559US-1S

I use the IcyDock linked above. It's a nice piece of kit and comes with a PCI bracket to route an internal SATA port outside so there's no need for a pre-existing eSATA port. Only problem I had was it shipped with an EU power cord, nothing that a quick webnote to OCUK couldn't fix but a bit of a pain if you have to wait another few days for a power cord.

Do a google for SATA Hard Disk Drive Cradle, I've got a couple and they are brill.

go for an icybox 390, they're £19.99, have usb2 and esata and you don't need to 'switch' it around internally to use the other connector..

awesome box
