Greetings!

Thermaltake to Release Cooling SATA HDD Docking Station

They say that efficiency lies in simplicity, and the new SATA HDD docking station from Thermaltake seems to prove that this is right. The device looks neat and common, but it is extremely functional and might
come in handy especially for those who use large-capacity hard disks as swap-drives.

The docking station is built vertically, and can hold either a 3.5″ or 2.5″ disk without the need of an enclosure. The hard drive is placed on top of the adapter, facing its connectors down. After having it slided into the docking station, the user instantly gains access to its full contents.


With and without USB hub:

It will be hard to find a place to buy it... I tried the Where to Buy link and got this Rolling Eyes
Code:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/product/productsupport/connection/connection2.asp, line 4


Wonder if the SQL Server was installed on a removable drive??

so its basically a external mount for an internal drive?

that makes me kind of nervous, I come from the generation that if you touched the circuit board on the outside of the HDD you would kill it.

HDD Stage Rack gets even better: now with 300% more FireWire

Just like fine wine, the HDD Stage Rack keeps getting better with age. On its third iteration now, the latest version of the external HDD cradle not only includes the obligatory USB and eSATA ports, but it also boasts a 6-pin FireWire 400 connector and two FireWire 800 sockets.

Sharkoon have a version almost identical that Tom's reviewed about 2 weeks ago.
