Ext HDD enclosure with a power switch on the front
I'm after an external hard drive enclosure (would prefer it in Black)
that has a power switch on the front rather then having to reach round the back all the time, I'm looking at some "RaidSonic" stuff right now but wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm in the UK (for my sins) if that matters any. Jim |

Of course it depends where we want to put the external drive, without too much of a rat's nest of cabling, but some users may simply put it facing the other way, so as to bring the on/off switch within reach.

Ext HDD enclosure with a power switch on the front
Hi Don thx for the reply, to be honest it's not for the PC, it's to go
around the TV somewhere to be plugged into a media player. Jim On 03/12/2012 18:30, Don Phillipson wrote: wrote in message eb.com...

There's a routine, and it'll assign itself to a button not used on the remote for the TV unit;- Empty HDTV slot connection accessible via the remote or something. 115V PIR 115V power strip I leave everything I want to come on, connected to the power strip, switched to on, including the BIOS to power up system when power restored. Hit the assigned button from across the room and everything comes up. 1x3x.75" WHD and from singapore for about $6US. It all started when my NEC LCD television receiver would come up, correctly out of standby, until removed physically from power and then repowered up. |

Here's one on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navigator-Drive-Enclosure-External-compatible/dp/B000JK769E/ref=pd_sim_computers_3/279-1325392-9864004 You don't say what type of interfaces (internal and external) that you need, but there are various types available. I guess it's just a matter of looking through them to see if there's anything that fits your needs: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/280-8907611-0051529?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=external+hard+drive+case#/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/280-8907611-0051529?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=external+hard+drive+enclosure&rh=i%3Aaps% 2Ck%3Aexternal+hard+drive+enclosure -- SC Tom |
