Looking for an internal/external HDD Caddy/enclosure

[DrummerBoy]

I have recently bought a HDD based recorder, and it used removable hard disks to transfer files from the recorder to a PC (it's an old Mackie SDR system I bought 2nd hand).

 

It uses a PATA HDD caddy system, but in order to connect the HDD to my PC, or laptop, I need to remove the HD from the caddy and remount it into another caddy, and connect via USB.

 

Does anyone know of a system which has an internal 5.25" drive bay, hot swap disks and then a matching external disk box to plug it back into?

 

I am confident that I can use PATA to SATA converters, but I've had no luck in finding such a system.

 

It either doesn't exist, or my Google Foo is weak :-(.

 

Thanks

Found one!! Google Foo may be weak, but eBay Foo still strong!
