External SATA Caddies with USB3 and/or Esata. Do they exist?

fredfinks · Nov 3, 2015

Hi, was using a great internal caddy, with matching drive cartridges, for backup. With my new case n mobo ive had to leave it out.
I dont want a regular HD external enclosure because i have multiple drives. Also i dont want a big 4 bay sitting on my desk.

Im after an external Caddy drive system that connects to PC with USB3 (and maybe esata). Do they exist? Ive had a look at Vantec and the mobile racks seems to only have a sata interface to pc.
Thankyou

You mean something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0VN-0003-000H5
There are 2 & 4 drive versions. There are probably eSATA models too, but USB3 is usually the way to go unless you have some particular workloads.

Ive considered docking stations, however id like it to be a caddy. Say if i want to leave the drive in there for long periods of time (no dust etc).

Something like this -- http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/591
With 1 or 2 bays, thats external. The product in link is for an internal setup that connect via sata

Thankyou! Exactly what i want however all reports, including amazon, say its a piece of junk and unreliable with connection. Also i bought an Orico usb 2.5 external enclosure 2 weeks ago that was DOA. Orico cant be trusted it seems.

Since its for backups id like something thats reliable. Maybe that doesnt exist...
