Hard Drive Dock-Backup Is A Snap?
Do you want to forego the internal
connection of a hard drive in your desktop, or do you need more space in your
laptop, or do you just want a hard drive to store
your data, but you don't have the space? Well then, you're in luck. A hard drive dock may very
well be your solution.
A hard drive dock is an excellent accessory for your laptop or desktop. The dock will give your system access to the new
hard drive without internal writing or power connections. How? It's done by the hard drive
dock.
Accessories: Hard Drive
Dock
(Toaster) and It's Uses
A hard drive toaster (also called hard drive docks) is a device
that allows you to plug in your regular internal hard drives, as
though they were pop-in flash drives. This is how it works.
You drop in your hard drive, and the dock instantly gives your system
access to the drive, no wiring, no power connections, it's done by the hard drive toaster.
In addition, some hard drive toasters can handle both 2.5 and 3.5 SATA
hard drives at once.
The external hard drive can either remain connected at all times, or
you can disengage the drive and use it only to backup your system
information.. Thus, offering you a backup when you have a system failure.
Pros:
1. Some units come with a usb cable, esata cable and backplate connecter and
power supply.
2. Provides extra disk space anywhere needed
3. Can be used to move large data that will not fit on a
USB flash drive between rooms, offices etc
4. If you have a desktop and a notebook, look for a hard drive dock that let's you switch between both the 2.5" hard drive and the 3.5" hard drive.
Cons:
Not all computers allow you to hot swap eSata. Therefore, there is some shareware utilities you can use if you need to hotswap the unit
so you can remove the drives with out any write failures.
Freeware: hotswap, unlocker
