External HDD docking

[Ryois]

So I have a some hard drives I need to pull data off of and use as storage. I have a external HDD docking station but I believe that one has failed. Could any of you recommend one that is USB 3.0 and powers the HDD it via wall adapter not HDD? Thanks!

I know Thermaltake has some

i have this monstrousity from sharkoon, and so far it's served me well:

it's got SATA on one side, laptop IDE on the other, and the rubber plug covers the desktop IDE interface. it also supports "hardware" write-locking the drive so you cant write to it.

 

EDIT: forgot to mention, it comes with a power adapter that feels of sufficient quality to rely on (which unfortunately isnt exactly a given..)

Go to your choice of retailer and see about about a 3.5" docking device

if have budget for quality, you could look into icy box. they make some pretty nice stuff, but you end up paying for that..

 

beyond that, sharkoon, being the chinese giant they are, has a whole range of enclosures, one of which might be your perfect fit.
