I'd thoroughly recommend something like this,
http://shop.xtreamer.net/categories/eTRAYz/

Can connect to it remotely, if
you go for the etrayz pro you can connect it directly to the telly via HDMI
and use it as your media centre and still access stuff from your laptop on
it.

I think the thing you are after is an old pc coupled with freenas.  These
docks offer no protection to the drive,  meaning the drive could easily be
damaged. A pc with freenas is the perfect solution.  Failing that some
proper powered usb enclosures will work better.  Also,  I think it was Alan
who pointed out that a desktop drive will not run off usb, he is right. You
will definitely need external power for any 3.5 drive.

Yep i understand that it would be cheaper to fix the pc ( it needs a new
motherboard) but the mrs has heart set on a laptop...so i figure ill go
without my pc...but still be able to use my data via the docks!

Sure, but what I'm saying is that this requirement of yours - system +
2 3.5" drives - should possibly be telling you that a laptop is not
the right machine for you.

The cost of any half-decent laptop will probably be so much that you
could give your presumed existing desktop a very serious upgrade
indeed for the same or less expenditure.

P.S. Please put your reply *below* the original message on mailing
lists. It breaks the threading of replies if you put it above.

Indeed. We use them to shred disks before disposing of them. They're
best for rapidly removing and replacing drives, not permanent use.

If you want multiple drives, why do you want a laptop?

Use a low-power desktop or a solid-state server like a GuruPlug or
PogoPlug or something like that. But for 3½" HDDs you will need power
supplies as well.

Docks are for when you want to constantly remove and replace the
disks. If they are meant to be permanently in use, put the drives into
external enclosures.

If I may say so, it sounds to me like you've not really thought this
through or done any research at all. It's not hard to use Google or
indeed Froogle - why are you asking other people to do it for you?

What size hard disk drive does it have in it? Not capacity, physical
drive size. I am betting it's 2½".

3½" hard disk drives draw too much power to run them off USB alone.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Recommend a two hard drive dock

[javadayaz]

well this is what i want to do!

Buy a laptop.
reconnect my old hd's ( x2) to the laptop via the usb docks. Then using a
xbox360 downstairs stream my media downstairs through the docks!

If that makes sense.

I have an external hard disk with bootable ubuntu on it, and I can
boot that and use it perfectly connected only via USB. There is no
mains power that can be attached to it.

Where do you expect the drive to get power from? USB bus isn't enough

CCL also used to sell Icy kit from www.icydock.com, which is very nice but a
bit more expensive. They still list a UK reseller but I'm not sure where
you'd actually buy them from.

[ubuntu-uk] Recommend a two hard drive dock

[javadayaz]

Hi all,

You guys are the only techies I know...so i hope you will forgive the
Unubuntuness of this post!

Can someone recommend a hard drive dock which will take two hard drives? I
refer to the USB docks that you can stick an internal PC hard drive in

Hopefully something cheap. :)
