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?

Yes, there are and have been.
We used to sell them. I forget what they are called and who we got them from.
I was basically a 5.25 bay harness that let you slide out the 3.5 hdd. You needed one bay thing and one harness / drive.
Ty (CC'd), do you remember these? or what they are called, or where they came from? (still has computer business)

We have them in stock around $25.00
I see Ty didn't include you in his reply. Here it is. (forwarded)>

Is this an external device? I have a desktop with one internal drive bay. What I need has to be USB external. Thanks, Greg Wallace

Thanks anyway. I'm looking at a couple of devices that both sound like they'll do the trick. A Wiebetech TDK-0-IDE and a Coolgear USBG-DKUS1. They both sound like they do about the same thing except the Wiebetech is about three times as expensive. I'm trying to figure out if there is any significant difference between the two or if the Coolgear model is just a much, much better deal than the other. Thanks, Greg W.
