Hmm that enclosure looks nice. But did I see or read right in the start post- you just put it into the case and the ends back on. If so seems to me that sucker would vibrate like hell make all shorts of noise and be moving all around in side that case just like if you hook up a hdd and just sit the drive on your desk top. That being metal Id guess would make even more noise and can not be good long term for the drive- or moving it around not such a great idea either.
I need to get another extern enclosure. Most I see at new egg look cheap and have poor reviews. I would like one that can run sata and sataII and III if it could also do ide even better. Think I have seen them that can run all I just stated in the 1 enclosure. I know they can do either or.
I have these now had them near 7 years and maybe 8 hours total on the drives..>
2 Thermaltake silver river usb enclosers- 2 Seagate st3200822a 200g Ultra100 IDE.
I only power and turn them on when I need to add or remove info from them. I love both the enclosures and drives. And the actual drives mount to the base of the enclosures and are quite and have a lil blue light fan too. I pull the plastic strips from the sides the top pops off. Aluminum they are cool and look nice. Look a lot like those in the start post..
I have 2x Seagate st3200822as 200g sata 1.5g I am getting no use out of. I need at least 1 good enclosure. Recording my every step of game play. I could use the extra storage and the drives are as old as the others a lot more use tho- stopped using them about 2 years ago ran great just cant use them in my later rigs- but would be nice for external drives and being I would not turn them on often.
I get least 1 set up I could do a full back up image of my w7 install- Be nice for the future and clean up time and reinstall the os etc. I never much run my 250 gig os drive over 50% full. So I might be able to do the image and still have some left over unless the image is a full 250 gigs- I have never done a full image back up. So my 200 gig drives may not be enough for that I do not know?
