External 2.5/3.5" hard drive caddy PATA/SATA recommenda

#1 Post by tfflivemb2 » Sat Aug 12, 2006 6:08 pm

I don't know if there is such a beast, but I am looking for an all-in-one external USB hard drive caddy.

Is there a caddy that will not only hold both PATA and SATA drives, but also 2.5 (laptop) or 3.5 (PC) inch drives? I have a converter for 2.5 to 3.5 inch drives, just like this one.

I'd like to have a single caddy that I can either use for my 300GB SATA storage drive or a laptop hard drive that I might be copying files off of.

If it is cost prohibitive, I can just get one for each task.

Well, you *could* use a slim converter and just use a 2.5 inch drive in a 3.5 inch enclosure... depending on it's size.

Doubt there are any that handle both PATA and SATA because of different chipsets. Would likely prove cost prohibitive.
