Question
I have this very enclosure and it worked great. I"m wondering how the SATA
port in the side of the enclosure works. Is there an adaptor that would allow me to connect another hard drive to the one inside the adaptor, and transfer data from the enclosure hard drive to another hard drive. I would like to "restore" the image (using Acronis True Image) I have on the enclosed hard drive, that is of 3rd hard drive, onto the 2nd hard drive, via the SATA port on the out side of the enclosure. I have this doesn't sound too confusing. My goal is to have an instantly accessable HD identical to HD number 3, which is a crucial hard drive for my work. Should this 3rd HD fail, I could just pop in the 2nd one, and go.
Any help
Thanks

[UOTE=Jakal;8596]You can't increase the transfer speeds of an ide, no matter how hard you try. Sata speeds can't be transferred by just using a sata enclosure. If you've got an ATA-133 you won't be able to get SATA-1 speeds just because it's in a Sata case. If you want to pick up the enclosure just look around for a decent Sata hard drive. I got a 250G SATA-II for around $100, and the prices have dropped since then.[/QUOTE]
