 results and send me a mail.

 I'll be considering one of these USB IDE disk caddies.  I never thought about 
 them.

Yes, I'm starting to use them, too.

There is one concern I have about these: they don't support the full IDE 
standard, meaning that SMART doesn't work. The drive can't be tested. 
True, smart doesn't always predict failure, but it helps.

Somebody knows of an external ide-usb box supporting smart 
(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology)?
