sumvision Sumvision USB 3.5 Hard Drive Caddy For IDE Drives Aluminium - Retail - Ebuyer

safecom Extra Value USB2.0 Hard Drive Caddy For IDE Drives - Retail - Ebuyer

both from ebuyer, do i get any discount if i use google checkout still? if yes, then what percentage/discount? i like style of safecom design but am heading towards the sumvision altho its more ugly looking due to it seems that the safecom has a bad fan

It's £10 if it's your first registration of google checkout. But otherwise it seems no (which is a shame)

Flip a coin, they are the same price and the same thing. If you feel safer with one then go with that.

You have to spend £30 or more to get Google Checkout to work.

i found this one also Sumvision 3.5" IDE USB2.0 Black Aluminium Caddy - Retail - Ebuyer but a bit tad tacky

I have several of the sumvision (bought from scan, so buy two and get free shipping) and they work OK. If you want something a bit sleeker and /or SATA then look at that Asaka caddy - about twice the price from Scan.

Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK (That is blue, IDE but they do a SATA/IDE version in different colours)

that sumvision you linked in your first message is rubbish. avoid.

I'd second the 'rubbish sumvision' cage comment, We've got one at work and the power is supplied through some bizarre 4 pin connector which resembles a fat ps2 lead.

Due to the manual nature of the connection, by which i mean the physical pressure needed to connect the cable, ours at work is all wobbly and rubbish. I would avoid!

Really?? I have a couple and they do the job! What's problems have you had with them?

[DougMcDonald]

I have had problems with the power connection on the back, it seems like a needs a really hard press in, and this make the backplate bend inwards. It just doesn't smack of great quality
