Happy 2021, all.... Due to the current threads re: external hard drive enclosures, I wanted to share my solution for this. It's a $12. part; I've been using it for 3 or 4 years and no issues. In fact, I have two. No enclosure needed, and no noise. It may not be the solution for everyone, but it works a treat for me and I suspect it may for some of you.

External hard drive connecto-thingieRegards, -09 I was looking at that thingie a few days ago. Using SSD's, would it be fast enough for recording and sample drives, or is it useful only for backup? |

Hi, Les...
I've never used it for tracking; only for backup. Works great for backup, tho.

I have a few different styles of those. They are as good as an enclosure. I use them for tracking, no concerns.

Thanks guys, that's very useful information! I've got an old PC with 4 ssd's. I'm weighing my options as to what to do when I configure a new PC.

A minor detail I neglected to mention: there is a tiny read/write status light on the large connector. Sometimes the visuals can be helpful.  And without an enclosure, the drives stay relatively cool. -09 |
