Just had a WD 1-tb external drive fail. We have tons of photos/data on it that I really want to save. Researching on line, it appears the WD power supply (both the external cable and onboard electronics) are prone to failure. So rather than bothering w/ the warranty return I want to just replace the enclosure. So I pulled the drive, which is a standard 1tb Caviar Green unit. Can anyone recommend a decent, inexpensive external SATA drive enclosure and let em know where to get it? thanks... --------------------------- Canon Cameras & Lenses | Master Works Photography | God is Light "Until you can do better, copy."

You could pick up an external dock by Thermaltake. Thermaltakeusa»Storage»BlacX»BlacX : BlacX N0028USU They can be purchased at Bestbuy as well, there are other types similar but I havent tried them. --------------------------- Support Pixtus by Purchasing Your Gear from: B&H Photo, Amazon, or Adorama Our Forum Rules | Report posts that break the Site Rules Dark Sky Finder Thread |

Orrrr.... I could realize the cat had eaten through the power cord BEFORE taking the drive apart... Now I have a jigsaw puzzle on my hands...hey, one piece left over. Wonder where that goes... --------------------------- Canon Cameras & Lenses | Master Works Photography | God is Light "Until you can do better, copy." Tony Gresham |

I got this: Newegg.com - Rosewill RSV-S4-X 4 Bay SATA to eSATA (Port Multiplier) JBOD / RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 Enclosure 5 copies of everything is a little redundant I think, but who knows, I'm paranoid when it comes to my work :) |

one of my favorite tools in the toolbox... the SATA/IDE to USB adapters (there's a few different makers available) are extremely handy if you don't need the enclosure... |

I recommend the AcomData external HD enclosure. They for me have been my replacements for some hard drives that have had enclosure failures. Like my Seagate External, Maxtor External and Lacie external. I replaced their stock casing with AcomData and KNOCK ON WOOD, they are still running strong after 2 years. -Ray- --------------------------- Photography and Post-Video Editing ... is life. Love it.

I would go with a Drobo as even if you have a drive failure you won't loose any date. It has redundant backup. A little pricey, but works great! --------------------------- | David Bailey Photography | Digital Racing Images | Sports Shooter | flickr | Grafix USA I have a camera and some other stuff...

This little thing rocks. Its also my lifeline when a laptop drive dies, because I can drop one of those in the slot as well to pull the data off. Hook it up eSata and drop a pair of WD Black drives in it and runs like a dream. --------------------------- Greg Canon bodies with Canon L and Tamron glass. | |

$30 bucks I believe. So nice to drop in any which drives you want and store the drive somewhere else (for real backup). --------------------------- 50d gripped | Rebel XS gripped Tamron 17-50 f2.8 | Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS | 580EXII Bless Her Heart ORG | |
