From: newyear on 25 Jan 2008 14:00 I'll try and explain . . . saw a HD forensic item on the news - not fussed about the forensics but the hd plugs into a base like a home cordless phone base - drive was sata - standing vertical then looked like one of those bays for the front of a pc - sata cable from it to the pc and a power lead from the bay as well looked like a good quick way to read a spare drive anybody know about this type of thing ? anxious about the plug in "stand" really thanks p.s. just thinking - the conection side of the drive was facing top so i guess the base really was just a way of holding the drive

Not bases so much as cables with a connector on the end that plugs into the drive with the drive loose on the desktop. > "Rod Speed" <rod.speed.aaa(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > news:5vv0hdF1o503nU1(a)mid.individual.net... > newyear <newyear(a)newyear.com> wrote: >> I'll try and explain . . . >> >> saw a HD forensic item on the news - not fussed about the forensics >> but >> >> the hd plugs into a base like a home cordless phone base - drive was >> sata - standing vertical >> >> then looked like one of those bays for the front of a pc - sata cable >> from it to the pc and a power lead >> from the bay as well >> >> looked like a good quick way to read a spare drive >> >> anybody know about this type of thing ? >> >> anxious about the plug in "stand" really >> >> thanks >> >> >> p.s. just thinking - the conection side of the drive was facing top >> so i guess >> the base really was just a way of holding the drive > > Any eSATA port on the PC can do that, what you are talking about is > really just a way to hold the drive vertically and thats just > cosmetic.
