Great use for old drives

Reviewed By: Snootch on 11/8/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Power button on the front of the unit. Since this is not used every single day I keep it powered down when not in use (less wear/heat on drives). Many external storage units have it on the back or even worse, not at all.

4 old IDE drives from 250G - 550G that are still being put to good use and not sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Have had this for over a year and have been very happy.

Cons: It's a minor issue but it's a very tight squeeze getting these drives inside the unit. If you have large hands as I do, expect some scratches on your hands and good amount of vulgarity during the installation process. LOL

Other Thoughts: Only improvements I could see would be a little more space inside the box for easier installation and a fan on the front/top for getter airflow. 4 IDEs in a small box can generate some heat after a while.

Great solution for IDE drives

Reviewed By: Jones on 10/27/2008

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I have run this thing 24/7 for a 3 months and it works like a charm. I linked 4 old drives for 2.0 TB of space and it reads them quickly and silently.

Cons: Out of stock. I would like to have one more. IDE 750 gig drives are dirt cheap
