Hey guys, So, my mobo came with a backplate for external sata power, and esata connectors... I have an old 3.5" SATA hdd that I use for backups, but due to the space limitations of my mATX case I'd like it to be external. As I don't need any convertors or fancy connectors as everything is passed through, I literally need a box to put the drive in. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=20609 These rubber skins are ideal, and only $3 (compared to ~£50 for a box that converts it to USB which I don't even need), but the only places I can find online are from the USA... Has anyone seen these anywhere in the uk at all?! Thanks!
Update: http://www.pchardwareuk.com/hddslev....html?osCsid=4520edbeae092a23f81386aea46e27ab So these look like they could do as a last resort - bit annoying that you'd have to pull the top off to use it each time, but perhaps a knife could sort that.... Edit: Also, not paying £5 postage for one of these as that puts them at like £11!
For some reason I wanted to tell you to put a metal weight on it... Although that would most likely be extremely unsafe. You could always get those CD changer rubber pads(the ones used to suspend the CD player) and put those to mount your HDDs.
