Shouldn't be a problem. But those want to use the external enclose, think twice because yr hdd will increase and keeping these hdd( with the adapter) going face problem. Use internal hdd and future can upgrade to NAS. Trust me, I oledi has more then 10 hdd but easily keep in the hard disk foam packing. Use docking to watch movies.

10 HDD??? All 1TB above?

yup. 2 type of files, mkv and BDrip.

You've got PM

any1 here up for some hd movies trading? pls pm me if u do so.

thanks for the feedback guys....then i'm buying ext HDD and docking station...

Go for a "Toaster" HDD dock....has USB and eSATA connectivity and can handle both 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs.....I think sells for around RM129

I think bro ar will be the better man to explain. He is more technical than me since he is always "near the engine" for being an engineer

But what OS are you using? Is your hdd dock powered or draws power from mobo's USB port?

I'm using XP, I'm sure the hdd dock is powered

what do you means by "draws power from mobo's USB port"

1.HDD is dead...try plug in other hardisk...see whether it works...or is that a new unformatted hardisk?
or
2.Docker connector/pcb burned

hdd dock being powered means it is powered by its own AC adaptor as opposed to the dock functioning from drawing power from your MOtherBOard's USB port. Do note that XP's USB port power management sux

or as what bro azbro said

Vista worst...always come out "can perform faster if connect to USB2.0" WTH...I connect to all the USB also come out same pop up warning..

I call that bullshiit, prove me wrong? Show a pic with your lowyat nick written on a piece of paper.

I got a few 80GB/40GB/20GB dead HDD..

i still got my first 3.2 Gb Quantum Fireball somewhere beneath the dust ruble in the storeroom....
