Can't believe it after looking all over the net for hours I can't find one.
I am looking for a well made 3.5 drive exernal drive case with:
- SATA connection (primary use at my office)
- USB 2 or Fireware connection for secondary use (compatability with other comptuers, I travel a lot).
- Can use ATA100-133 drive or SATA.
- I will most likely get a WD <edit> 7k </edit> rpm 200Gb+ drive.
- Must be portable (fit in laptop bag).
I would go with firewire 800 but for now the windows drivers are slowwwwww and my place of work will not be going to SP2 until next year nor would they be happy with a 3rd party venders driver.
The drive enclosures from HighPoint but they use there version of SATA called e.SATA and it uses a Firewire connection and not SATA, I think that's kinda odd and would like to avoid it if possable.
This product would work.. http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/index.php?redir=http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?code=CA-CI80311 but there are no doc's to see if it uses the Highpoint
Highpoint review, http://www.extremereviews.net/data.php?recordID=93&page=1&type=review
Any ideas?
Thanks
