Removable Drive Bays

[Vaphoron]

I have been looking for some removable drive bays for a while and I recently heard about the ones from Inclose Design. Well, I was about to order them when I decided I would take a quick look at my G4 to make sure it would work. The DVD-R is in one 5.25" drive bay and the other is holding my second IDE hard drive. Well, to my surprise it looks like its actually only a 3.5" slot. Its not actually another 5.25" drive bay which is needed for the removable drive bays that I was looking at. Can someone help me out and lead me in the right direction. All I need is IDE drives and I need to swap them out cause I use different systems and I need to import sessions fast.

External Sarotech Firewire IDE boxes .... hot swap and fast enough.

Remember to take the required software with you when you go to a new machine.

I use these for PT sesion and FCP stuff.

Yeah, it looks like I will have to go Firewire even though I didn't want to. I have two other workstations that aren't equipped with Firewire ports. Do you know if anyone makes a external Firewire bay that accepts the removable drive bays so I would be able to pull them out and the slide into the drive bays on a normal 5.25" PC equipped with the docking bay? Cause that would be the best solution for me now.

mmmmm??

are you saying you want to exchange between PC and Mac.....?

When I do this I tend to use a drive to put a session onto to move to the other system and then put the session onto the Audio Drive in that machine.

I have never used the same drive on PC and Mac for one session ??? did that make sense?

not sure I can help. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
