Easy Hard Drive Swapping

Posted by Chad Criswell Oct 20, 2007

Until now, if you wanted to connect an extra SATA hard drive to your computer you had to buy a USB adaptor kit or a hard drive enclosure. While these work fairly well for most users some of us seem to have several old drives laying around and want to put them to good use. Using the new USB SATA docking bay you can simply insert an old SATA hard drive into the docking cradle and access it on your system with no fuss or bending over to plug in cables. The SATA hard drive plugs into the base much like an old style video game cartridge and allows you to easily swap one drive for another. It isn't exactly the most stylish and eye pleasing accessory to add to your desk, but it does the job and does it well.
