Simple (or so I thought), as title says, looking for an external drive bay that will take 2 x 500Gb IDE drives and connect to USB2, doesn't need to support Raid.

No picture i'm afraid, but Scan do have one:

It is IDE as opposed to SATA though.
are you sure you couldn't use 2 individual cases.i looked at scan and all they had was a sata to firewire doesn't mean they don't exist
Did see this but it's really for 3 x 5 1/4" rather than 2 x 3.5" and I'd like to try and keep to as small a footprint as possible, I'll keep looking

Unfortunately is is SATA as opposed to IDE.
problem is that I have the 2 IDE drives already - I can see a bit of DIY taking place with an old conflake box and some gaffer tape......
Or just get two regular single drive boxes? :)
