Windows Backup

Quote from mokwit:

er, what is this thing (in English) and what does it do that no external hard drive or casing is needed from now on, ever! :D

It acts like an external HD without the enclosure. The kit has a power supply, all the ATA connector plugs, and a USB connector. It has everything an external drive/casing has except the "case".
 
I ordered this generic one (USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE) from Geeks.com for $15 but have not received it yet to test:

At the time I ordered (a couple of days ago) they had a deal where you enter the code "FLATRATE" and shipping for the whole order (no matter how many items) is $2 - not sure if it has expired.
 
This is a cool tool. The USB won't be as fast as a sata port. I use the following setup. My asus mother board has 2 sata connections, I have 2 sata drives in the box and use casper xp to copy once a week. I have a sata controller card in a pci slot with an internal sata connection and an external sata connection.

The internal connection is used for a removable hd that is copied to from the c drive and removed from the machine.

I use yet another enclosure drive connected to the external port on the card at times.
If you've ever lost a drive with everything on it, you don't mess around with chance anymore. :D

It has the 2.5" plug. Looks good.
