Semi-OT: IDE & SATA to USB "dongles"

Rumor has it that Steve Thatcher may have mentioned these words: They do that to avoid a huge hit from ePay's charges... All in all, about $22. USD, not a bad deal as the last ones our store ordered were nearly $40. USD, and didn't have the SATA dongle. Not a bad price whatsoever. I've used 'em, and they're pretty handy overall. I prefer firewire, but I've not seen such a widely adapted dongle that can be used on firewire; tho anything "permanent" external that I build for that purpose is FW, as it goes one heckuva lot faster.... ... and don't start quoting numbers without doing the benchmarks... ;-) Laterz, "Merch" -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger | "Bugs of a feather flock together." sysadmin, Iceberg Computers | Russell Nelson zmerch at 30below.com |
