Not sure what section of the forum this thread would fit best in...
I have no idea what these things are called. My friend showed me u can take some seagate drives apart and wind up with this little docking station that u can plug any drive into. I forget the name of the power cable used for common HDDs nowadays, but it has that and sata. I later was given something that actually was made for this. Its a little black with usb 3.0 out and a power cable that allows me to plug in any 2.5" sata HDD into it.
I have a lot of drives to organize and am constantly finding them and messing with them. But the one i have has a fan, if i dont use a fan the drives get way too hot.
Does anyone know of any reliable HDD stands like what im explaining that has a fan built into it?
The ones im using keep having problems with the usb cables, and they are extremely unreliable, they dont even work sometimes.
Im hoping for ones with esata and usb 3.0 but they dont have to have esata, usb 3.0 is a must.
Thanks for your time.
