i wonder when someone will sell external caddys the same size so you can stick any 2.5" notebook drive in. that's handy if you upgrade your internal drive and want to make your old drive a spare external

I have a sumvision caddy which i worked out to be only 3% bigger, cost me a whole £4!
so if they are the same size, what's the big deal about freecoms one? is it a winner by a millimetre or two or something?
Exactly.
I have a few of these 2.5" cases and they are all pretty compact, although, a few mm is quite a percentage decrease in thickness.
Most of the cheap cases the drive isn't tight to rattles about a little bit, the rubber sleave will prevent this. It will also give it an element of drop protection too.
How will the rubber sleeve stop the drive rattling inside the enclosure?
I've got an IcyBox 2.5" one that I'm more than happy with. I'd much rather have the choice of hard drives which go in the enclosure and all for an entire £3 more.
Because the rubber sleave is the enclosure. Just like the silicon skins you get for iPods and some phones.
Fair enough, but the inside isn't going to be rubber. It'll just be like the old Western Digital PassPort drives, just all the way around.
Yeah. It's just a standard laptop drive with a ruber skin and a really small USB controller board at the end.
Emm, only 155g and reasonably priced.
Is the case solid enough? And, does anybody know what chipset does freecom uses inside the case?
