(Right now the available trays only allow use of standard 3.5" SATA drives.)<BR/><BR/>The drive SATA connectors are exactly the same between the two sizes - we just need a tray that can hold the smaller drive in the right position.

If somebody else beats you to it, you'll have lost a customer.<BR/><BR/>Why would you spend so much engineering time on non-compatible trays in the first place? Shouldn't ALL of your SATA systems use the same tray? You should have done it this way from the start.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622295200289784866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-81454867044753961522008-09-18T17:10:00.000-07:002008-09-18T17:10:00.000-07:00this is just a concept design.

When working with large video files, using the external case out of the office and then being able to swap the drive into an internal case makes going from the field and back into the office so much easier. This definitely completes the mobile drive environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202894.post-64336850995998858852008-07-02T11:48:00.000-07:002008-07-02T11:48:00.000-07:00I think this is a great idea.

(too expensive for the demand?) Anyway, I'd vote yes, even make it a combo - external case, 1 sled, and internal case. Maybe even an anti-static bag to put the drive in.<BR/>What would be good, too, is a flap to at least visually close the door, if possible.

Many mid towers and smaller form factor systems have only one additional available bay, so this would fit the bill quite nicely. My vote is for simplicity over extra features, sleek asthetics over bling.
