We’ve finally managed to get some SATA (Serial-ATA) versions of the ever popular 5.25″ Hard Drive cases and enclosures we sell. These 5.25″ cases are popular because they are ideal not only for hard disk drives but other peripherals with a standard SATA interface such as DVD burners, CD players etc.
If you haven’t got enough room to pop a DVD player inside your PC case then you could pop one inside one of these 5.25″ cases and simply connect it to your PC via the USB lead that’s supplied with it. Extremely easy to set up and use and a real bargain at the price we’re selling them at. We know there are cheaper versions you can pick up on ebay but frankly they’re not worth it – these units from Hotway are all RoHS compliant, they meet all the EU specs and have properly fused UK plugs (not something you can be sure of when you buy cheap and cheerful units off of ebay)
We’ve tested these case up to 1Tb becasuse thats the largest HDD we have to use for testing but we’re pretty confident they are fine up to 1.5Tb which is an absolutely whopping amount of data!
The cases as you’ll have gathered all come with UK power supply units, and a USB lead to connect them to your PC.
As an alternative you could also consider one of our ever popular USB to IDE/SATA kits – these work with all hard disk drives irrespective of their physical size, storage capacity or interface. No wonder they were our best selling product in 2009 and look on course to repeat this in 2010.
