ZipZoomFly.com - Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $26 after rebate
Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station for $29 plus $7 shipping, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available (offer code TRM-5303).

This device can be very handy for some people. It is a docking station for 2.5" and 3.5" Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port. Being able to slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, then eject the drive and store it in a safe place. This is a great way to store lots of data without taking up precious room on your computer's internal hard drive. Hard drives can store stuff easier than burning DVDs, and being able to quickly slide in & out hard drives without rebooting the computer can be very handy for some people with lots of data storage needs.

Effectively, this can help turn spare hard drives into swappable, large capacity USB storage. Fill up a drive of music, another drive with recorded digital videos, and another with backups. Store the drives in anti-static bags in a safe place, easily accessible any time you need them.
