More features for accessing bare IDE 3.5" drives!

Gobs of utility

Just connect the drive to the Dock, plug in power and attach a FireWire or USB cable to a host computer. That's all it takes. For more protection to the drive, a mounting plate can be screwed onto the bottom of the drive to protect the drive's circuitry.
