I thought he was going to use the IDE interface - but he is just using the hdd as a case. I guess I was expecting a bit much :yes:

and hopefully he didn't need all weekend long for doing this ;)
Well it was sort of a neat idea. He stripped a lot of unneeded materials and created a new multi-drive system really. Though it is physically nothing more than 4 external drives, if someone were so ingenious I supposed they could create a controller board that would act as an interface. You could even make it a RAID drive system too.

There are lots of cables (etc) that allow you to use an ide device on an usb cable. But i the other way around does not exist for as far as i am aware.
Although i read about an drive capeaable of using sd cards (http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2007/02/20/diy_ssd_sd_cards/1) Bit costly though.

lol.. that's pretty neat.

If you make a USB -> IDE interface, you'll probably loose the extra speed gained when using USB only. :)
