Am looking at getting a external caddy for a dvd-rw and hard drive, wondering if anyone has any reviews / exp of using them. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produc...tID=382287 |

ive got a number of external drives and one external dvd-rw. Each of the enclosures was made by a differnt company and none of them were expsneive or have anything other than basic functionality. They all do the job, no complaints so i would personally be unwilling to buy a spcial one with extra bells and whistles. Most of the time my external drives are on an "closed" shelf above just above my computer so they are for the most part out of sight, so any lights and stuff to look cool would be a little lost on me. just my 2p worth.

Just to confirm what's been said i guess. I have a basic enclosure, you just wack the drive in, turn it on, and it does the job. Go for something that simply does the job. |

Its just the fact of easy use to plug a DVD rom into the PC via firewire rather than ripping IDE cable out of the machine (only 1 channel which has 2 HDD internal already)  Was more the case does 5.25 as spec differ dependant on the type. This i'll give it a wrill and if not can slip a HDD in it, maybe rig a cable of the IDE plug inside Anyone seen those new atom Asus laptops ver 2 coming out soon, they look pretty nice for a portable. Depends how much they sell for here. $529 in the states  sry OT |
