With mine, you just buy an extra tray any time you want to have another mountable drive. Buy a tray, buy a drive, and mount it to the tray. Then, at least on mine, you swap the drives out by using a key to unlock the drawer, slide out one drive, slide another one in, and then re-lock it. It takes about a minute to swap drives. Even if you don't think you'll need the extra capacity now, you might down the road.
so what's the name, rank & serial number of this wonder ;^) ?
I bought it off of the usbgear web site (www.usbgear.com). You can do a search there for "removable rack" and find it. I got the one at the top of the search results page. It's ATA USB 2.0. and it's made by a company called Coolgear. There may be better ones around. As a matter of fact, there's one for SATA drives on the same page at about half the price. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, but I thought SATA would be more expensive than ATA, in general. Not sure what other differences there could be (they both have internal fans). This one I got works fine for my purposes. Greg Wallace
