AmesMUG: Drive Enclosures

[John Rearick]

Isn't the internal drive SATA II?  I believe the SATA II connection  
is the same for both 2.5 and 3.5 drives.

While running around New Egg I found a 1 TB gigabit NAS from Lacie  
for under $300.  I'm thinking I'm going to buy that and and cheap USB  
adaptor and perhaps sell my spare drives instead of looking for drive  
enclosures.
