    HDD Docking

    Hiya folks. I'm looking at picking up a dock some time soon and was wondering what brands and/or models people would recommend? My only preference is is for the dock to connect via eSATA since my laptop can, so I would like to cut down on how many peripherals I am trying to connect through my limited number of USB ports.

    I also have the Thermaltake BlacX and have had no problems. When I was looking at these this one seemed to have the best reviews.

    Cheers for the suggestions. even cheaper than the couple I had a brief look at, so that works for me rather nicely

    Pity newegg don't ship internaionally, but I think I know a guy who can get thing's shipped through people, or something like that, if I ask nicely

    Once again, my thanks to the wonderful pcper forum folks for always being so helpful

    Any particular pro's or con's over using the single/double bay version of this, other than the given that I can access two different drives at once which might actually be useful to me in the long run once I've got my files organised to let people come over and grab things from my external without having to transfer to my internal before i can then move things onto their drive. Equally it'll let me keep seperate drives for different media and still access them at the same time.
