Storage Solutions External connector solution for various types of HDD

[Futureized]

I have many people keep visiting me to transfer movies/games to them (i have a fast internet connection and download for them).
They get there HDD and I have to everytime shutdown, open case and do all dirty work.

Are there some external cable connectors which can ease my work ?
Multiple cable connectors which can connect internal HDD to my system via USB possibly, so I dont have to open the case everytime.

Or some good solution if anyone can suggest.
HDD like sata, ssd etc.

Get this or some other USB 3 HDD dock. Max transfer speeds would be around 60-100 Mbps.

IDE not sure if it is still in use. But for HDD/SSD with SATA connector, the product listed should suffix.

If this is for temporary connections, just get a connector, not a case. Like this one.

^This. I've the case model and sometimes it's very difficult to remove the HDD from the case.

+1 to a docking station. This is a better option that getting a connector. Additionally, you can use SATA, which *is* faster than USB3.

For SATA, did you mean something like this: http://www.amazon.in/StarTech-com-5-25in-Trayless-Mobile-3-5in/dp/B000KS8S9W

Something like this would be ideal: http://www.amazon.in/QuantumZERO-QZ...id=1493173486&sr=1-2&keywords=hard+drive+dock
I have one that I bought several years ago (Sunbeamtech brand, I think), and it still works like a charm.

Friend you need HDD enclosure..
Search on Amazon, Flipkart..
If you want to use for only computer HDD then buying locally, you will get good product at ₹500-₹800.

I have something like this from ASUS/Gigabyte, I no longer use it, if you are in Mumbai you can have it, also it few years old, so you will have to check it

Check if you can hotswap your drives, if yes, this is brilliant.

 

[NotMyRealName]

That looks like a pair of regular Sata data connectors (not eSata), but with one molex power? wtf

And sata is generally hot-swappable, if you turn off write caching right?

 

[salman8506]

that is not hot-swappable. I have it from an old board. The other one i linked is hot-swappable however.
