One of these are great if you are a system builder. I've many times where I'd be building a new system for myself or another, and wasn't planning on using the previous hard drive from the old computer, but had lots of data that needed to be transfered over. It's a lot faster and easier than hooking up an internal IDE cable (no power down needed) or installing it in an external enclosure. I've got three or four drives on a shelf that on wierd occasions I'd need something on them that I didn't think I'd need at the time!Originally posted by: tishoo
Although, honestly, what's the benefit over a USB enclosure (around 20 anyway, with case, power supply, external mounting/portability!)
If you really want more internal IDE hard drives (assuming this adapter lets you use a spare USB port to set up an internal IDE drive), why not buy a nice (RAID capable even) PCI IDE-ATA/133 adapter card and control 4 drives?
