[citation][nom]wotan31[/nom]Seems pretty pointless. Just another gimmick. Hot-swap drive bay sleds have been available for more than 20 years, since the mid 1980's at least. They consume one 5.25" drive bay, but so what, a full tower case has 6 or more such bays. Further, the only reason you'd need to hot-swap a drive, is when you're replacing members of a RAID set, but with only a single hot-swap bay on this new case, RAID isn't even an option. Lastly, if your needs call for only a single removable drive, why not just use an external? Firewire 800 or eSata? Sorry, but case just screams of marketing gimmick to me.[/citation]
I happen to have a lot of hard drives that I just swap in and out of my usb dock, it is a lot cheaper than getting external enclosures for each. It has its uses for cleaning up other peoples hard drives as well, since you can boot off of your computer. You don't need to use their old sloppy hard drive's os this way. It can be very useful outside of RAID situations, but not necessary for the most part.
