Hey guys,

SO I have about 5 HDD's that are just lying around. I believe most are IDE interface. Im looking for one caddy that can hold more than 1 HDD. I know they sell them, but scouting Newegg it seems they really only have 1 caddy that holds 1 HDD.

Anyone know where I can get ONE caddy that hold multiple HDD's?

Thanks again

Do you want internal or external?
What kind of connection are you looking for?


Drobo is an external USB drive enclosure that makes them all one nice big drive...

most if not all require a drive controller be installed

There is this from kanguru which makes it multi-platform sort of

Mini Storage Tower with JBOD USB 2.0 interface, black - Connects up to 4 drives to system via 1 USB 2.0 /1.1 cable.

Includes 12" Ultra IDE ribbon cables (AA2IDE80-12), power cord, mounting screws, and user guide.

External interface cables are not included. Please check the optional cables section for the choices.

Seems like a doable one, 4 drives in 1. For 160, doesnt seem 2 bad

that's the core piece you could later add the removable interface they sell and that would allow you sata and Ide drives with a all in one unit or add an adapter and make a portable drive unit.
