Can someone please recommend me a decent USB3\Esata sata drive bay. I have a whole bunch of 7200 drives I need to use with my laptop. It seems all the external drive bay products I buy break after a few weeks use. The construction is terrible on these things.
I have two currently, both brands I presumed were decent.
A Welland Leopard (http://www.welland.com.tw/html/USB3.0/601S.htm) The on\off switch no longer functions. I've taped it into the on position and now power it on\off by pulling out the power plug.
Icydock MB881U3-1SA SATA/IDE USB 3.0 (http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=130) The connector to the cable on the device itself is weak and no longer works (unless the cable is propped up very carefully pushing the connector into a position where it decides to actually..connect). Rubbish.
Neither of these devices suffered abuse, they weren't moved around much essentially just sitting on my desk.
Are there any extremely durable external drive docks that someone has experience with and can recommend? I want to get years and years out of the device, not 2 months.
