I use a dock system along side my integrated external drives, the dock unit connects via USB2, Firewire and eSATA, the latter being my preference as it makes the drive as fast as the internal unit. I generally use the dock and drive to make live clones of my system partitions. The Vantec enclosures/docks are pretty good, if you do go for an enclosure try to get one that has a dual supply, ie 5v + 12v. http://www.vantecusa.com/front/product/view_detail/377 -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
