I currently have an external hard drive container with a single hard drive capacity. I would like to have the ability to swap out hard-drives on a single device similar to this one except without having to go through all of the effort of screwing the drive down onto the mounts. I'm wondering if anyone manufactures a device that makes it simpler to remove and replace disk drives into the device. In my dreams, it might have some simple thumb screws too attach it to the mount so that all you would have to do is slip it in, connect the USB cable and power to the drive, tighten down the thumb screws, slip the cover over it, and plug it in and use it. I. e., you could change out a hard drive on this device in 5 minutes or less. Anyone out there know if there is such a device?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
A fellow I worked with, before I retired, was using a hot swap (I think) device that installed into one of the exposed trays. You might look into something like that. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
