Rajahal Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U External Hard Drive SATA Enclosure Docking Station 2.5” & 3.5” USB 2.0 & eSATA $29 after promo EMCKAHA225 (expires at 11:59pm PT on 10/1/2011) $14 after MIR (expires on 10/2/11) These 'toaster style' docks can be very useful for quickly preclearing a drive if you have a spare eSATA port on your server. You can also use them to add an array drive, though I wouldn't recommend it as a long-term solution as the drive will be more prone to damage and will have no dedicated cooling. Link to comment
Johnm Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lol. I am glad I am not the only person that calls them toaster style docks. These things are so handy. They are great for transferring data to and from a pc (any os). They are also great for doing rotational backups of a pc/server. Especially if the pc has esata. Link to comment
Rajahal Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lol. I am glad I am not the only person that calls them toaster style docks. Toaster not only in appearance, but because they toast your drives! I'm somewhat kidding - if used short term these docks are fairly safe. I just wouldn't use one in any long term capacity.
