Enclosure compatible with SATA II drives?
Does anybody know if there are any external enclosures that support
SATA2/SATAII/SATA300 drives. In particular, a seagate (500GB or 750GB) SATA300 drive. I have done extensive searching, and am unable to find any enclosure that definitively says that it will work with SATA II drives. I have come across several that say they only work with SATA drives up to 500gb (and in a couple of those cases, I wrote the manufacturer and received replies that they really DO have a 500gb maximum (not just marketing blurb -- actually a limitation of the chipset), and that they do not support SATA 2 drives. Thank you! Jim |

Pretty stupid to look for SATA 3Gb/s in the first place.
Size has nothing to do with SATA versions either. wrote in message oups.com... Does anybody know if there are any external enclosures that support SATA2/SATAII/SATA300 drives.
