Increase the bays to 5 so that you can fit a bigger and quieter 120mm fan (replacable of course, so that we can choose a better more expensive aftermarket one if we choose). Now that would be an impressive product.<BR/><BR/>Never would we need to buy another caddy and mess with screws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-55807552426067938092008-02-16T08:57:00.000-08:002008-02-16T08:57:00.000-08:00I definately have a use for this type of enslosure...I definately have a use for this type of enslosure. I test hundreds of hard drives and recently built a station to test ATA hard drives 8at a time. It would be most convenient to be able to slide the drives in and out without first attaching slide rails. This would allow for quick removal and installation between batch runs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-62029854724880381962008-01-24T09:13:00.000-08:002008-01-24T09:13:00.000-08:00I for one have been looking for something like thi...I for one have been looking for something like this for years.

Also create a power connection that has one AC plug on one end and a hydra of connectors on the other to simplify power connection.<BR/><BR/>It might be useful if the cage could be expandable or able to connect to other cages.<BR/><BR/>On another subject, please make IDE enclosures like the 559 series. I have a few legacy drives I would like to keep around.<BR/><BR/>Your 559 series enclosures run very cool, so it makes more sense to create farms of them, rather that buying an enclosure with 4 or 5 slots that heats up too much.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for offering this forum of idea exchange.<BR/>HarrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-41414359419510184292007-11-12T14:20:00.000-08:002007-11-12T14:20:00.000-08:00I have a MB452 and have misplaced the Power supply...I have a MB452 and have misplaced the Power supply can you provide a part number or specks so I can order another one?<BR/><BR/>Or a picture of the lable side of the PS would go a long way in identifying it as i could send it to my friends to see if one of them took it by accident<BR/><BR/>Stewart.cormier@sympatico.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-66817492943267753592007-09-15T16:10:00.000-07:002007-09-15T16:10:00.000-07:00I would certainly appreciate something like this. ...I would certainly appreciate something like this. I have some 40 HDDs lying around that I connect via USB adapter whenever I need to retrieve some old file (I catalog everything with Whereisit). I recently bought a 4 level shoe rack which fits a total of 20 drives. But the shoe rack has lots of excess space between levels.
