Do you need a USB enclosure box?
Surfing the web today I found a curious external enclosure box that allows to connect at the same time a hard disk drive and an optical device via USB2 port to a computer. And that's not all: it contains also a 6-in-1 card reader!

With a nice design, it can be useful for people that need to carry both an external HDD and an optical drive, saving space and avoiding too much cables messing around.



More information and some pictures can be found here.

Interesting idea. I'd imagine a lot of laptop and Mac Mini owners would be interested in these. As nice as it is to use these [almost] silent machines, there comes a time when the pathetic speed and capacity of the internal drives get in the way of productivity. If it weren't for my external HD, I'd've gone back to a tower years ago. I'll soon be getting a burner to put in an external enclosure (which I already have). I could certainly use one of these things. (Yes, I have an external card reader too!) I won't be buying one though, since I already have enclosures for all the drives I need. But, damn, I wish these were around a couple of years ago.

Dolphinius_RexThe innovation is nifty, but I'm more concerned with how well it works. CDFreaks should test it and let us know Wink

SkithI would like to know how effective the heatsink is and where the fan is placed. I would also like to see a firewire or combo option for such a device.
