    I went with this solution from cool drives External bays with pull out cases so you can use any drive you want & there are usb2 & firewire combo versions. Why limit yourself to a *fixed* external drive?

    I was at Sam's Club the other day and they had a 250 external firewire or usb 250GB drive. for like $150 or less. It was a brand name, just can't remeber who. Maxtor, WD or Seagate. Just basicallt plug and go, take it to a friends or work.

    The pull out drives are ok, but you can't just take them anywhere. I have one bay on my PC with that also.

    Why cant you take them anywhere? They are just like those fixed drives...
    What is the difference in this & this .
    You are think about a bay mounted pull out drive.. I was talking about external enclosure with a bay in it.
    They are both *mobile*, but one you are not confined to the selection of HD.
