There is always the SATA to USB kit. I have one, thats how I access my spare drives. There like $20, but you dont have a nice dock or enclosure, its just the drive with some wires hanging out. Like this: [http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Vantec-USB-to-SATA-IDE-Adapter\_W0QQitemZ230379294345QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC\_Drives\_Storage\_Internal?hash=item35a3ad0e89&\_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht\_2712wt\_1165](http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Vantec-USB-to-SATA-IDE-Adapter_W0QQitemZ230379294345QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item35a3ad0e89&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_2712wt_1165) ---

joey its 20 bucks more for the 1TB samsung drive vs that 320gb.+shipping def worth it in my opinion. or you could pick up one of these [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182155](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182155) and this [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181) 500gb for under 70 bucks. many HD choices at that point. just a few different ideas. ---

So 2TB of storage that can be hot swapped with other drive whenever you want. Fill one up, buy another drive and pull the full one out and put the new one in. Need stuff off the full one? Just plug it back into the dock. Makes moving lots of data around VERY easy. DOCKS FTW ! i love it ---
