The one nice thing about using a firewire 2.5HD is "no need for power cables". My question is, when using the firewire 800 port of the the 559 enclosure and the new 2.5 HD tray, will this allow for the 559 enclosure to be used "without" the need for a power cable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-6766179579048876492008-06-12T19:34:00.000-07:002008-06-12T19:34:00.000-07:00That's a step in the right direction.

We see a lot of computers that are so corrupted due to viruses, malware, etc. that it really makes sense to pull the drives and scan them as slaves. <BR/><BR/>The expanded ability to scan either the 3.5 or 2.5 drives via e-sata would make things very convenient. I think you should make it.

It would enable current users of the MB559 to use it to create backups of their laptops which now adays use SATA drives.

Here's my situation: I have a MacBook Pro and I'm going to upgrade the internal 2.5" hard drive. I'll need to transfer the data from my old drive to my new drive, so I figured I'd get an external enclosure. I find it more likely that I'll use a 3.5" drive in the enclosure than a 2.5" after the initial data transfer, so I'd like to get an enclosure that can work with either 2.5" or 3.5" drives. I've spent the day looking for such a product and haven't found anything until this blog post now. Please, please make these trays!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640392787767460102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-9168824562081303172007-05-07T11:40:00.000-07:002007-05-07T11:40:00.000-07:00This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Also, 2.5" hard drives are more expensive and (usually) spin slower, 5400RPM vs. 7200RPM than their 3.5" counterparts. So other than offering the customer a choice, I don't see much of an advantage.<BR/><BR/>It's always nice to have the option though, in case you have some 2.5" drives floating around.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040631545332095682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-69329020008502005842007-04-20T04:50:00.000-07:002007-04-20T04:50:00.000-07:00Not sure I see the point in this.
