Considering ReadyNAS Duo but need to back up HD first
Hi My desktop PC (old) has just died and has gone to the knackers yard. I retrieved the 2 x SATA HD and would like to use them in a NAS, BUT I need to backup some of the files 1st. My question ...
I have a SATA/PATA/USB adapter kit that I use. These generally include a separate power supply module, which you can also use to power the drive when you access it using SATA or ESATA. They are quite inexpensive, you can find them at Amazon. Quite useful when testing drives, or when migrating to larger drives (or new PCs).
Longer term, a USB enclosure makes sense, though I am not sure that it is worth it given the relatively small capacity of these drives.
BTW, if you have the money, consider the ULTRA products- they are much faster than the older Duo.
