External hard drive enclosures come in all sorts of varieties, but only if you need it to carry around often, you may want to consider the Logitec (no, not Logitech) SATA-to-USB converter that employs a cartridge slot design. An semi-transparent case folds up to cover the drive, and there’s adequate back support so the drive won’t be easily knocked over. Installation is relatively simple as you don’t even need to power down the unit before inserting the SATA drive.
Century has something similar, yet the Logitec’s version looks more polished and has a 4-port USB hub. An eSATA / USB version is available as well, but neither pricing nor availability is certain as of this writing.Permanent Link
