[GLLUG] Hot Swap an ATA Hard Drive -Another Approach

[Gary Holbrook]

I've always wanted to try this with vanilla drives and cheap cages:
Get a 5 1/4 inch external USB enclosure and mount one of the swappable cages
in it.  Then you could use vanilla IDE drives and use the usb enclosure to
make them hot-swap.
