    Looks good ,but could'nt find anywhere to say what is the largest HDD supported, Many will only accept 250-500gb will this go higher ?
    Well, 500GB of ISO files for system support is a TON...unless you plan to carry ISO files around for nearly all Linux distributions out there.

    Hi pparks, I just happen to have a spare 750gb lying around and thought of using that in one

    Well, if it handles 500GB drives...I'm pretty sure a 750GB wouldn't cause problems.

    Disk Capacity


    If you can trust in this, it is a review from NewEggs page.

    1) Unpacked the box and inserted a WD Scorpio Black 750GB 2.5" drive which I ordered from another online retailer (due to several reviews mentioning bad shipping and handling by newegg) exactly the same time. The drive was sitting waiting for the enclosure delivery. I plugged in the eSATA + USB cable to the drive and to my laptop's eSATA and USB ports. The drive was ready to use as soon as it was initialized and formatted

    This has got my attention.

    I wonder about a 2 1/2 ssd?

    The only spare drives I have wouldn't work then, I would have to buy a new drive.

    Hooked


    I have disks stacked up with many tools that I use that I have burned. Every time I burn one a new ver comes out and I have to burn another.

    I am thinking this is a good alternative. Ordered one from NewEgg $42.23 ($10.00 mail in $32.23) Had to buy a disk for it. WD Scorpio Black (wd5000bpkt) 16mb cache, 2.5" sata (3.0 Gbs). Drive set me back $69.00. So that set me back $101. I can't afford to read any more threads this eveing!!
