    for the "important" stuff you should have a RAID system going.. everything else should be external (dont move or unmounted;hdd dont like it.. ) recently i've moved to this case..
    Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition Mid-Tower Case (thanx Boz!)

    allows internal drives to be docked externally. (supports labtop drives too)

    • that blue port is usb 3plash
    • i almost got that case but went with a silverstone ft02 with thermaltake dockdeathboy
    • how do you like it?! L.O.V.E. my Thermaltakeplash
    • so far i really dig it. lots of cable routing option. top usb i felt was a bit cheap and no direct usb3.0 accessdeathboy
    • but it is pretty. stays cool. and since i dont have a usb3.0 thumbdrive i dont mind the lack of quick access so fardeathboy
    • was looking it up.. how does the Thermaltake dock work?plash
    • how bout thermal take. cant recall what made me change my mind on itdeathboy
    • the dock works liek the top port. usb2.0/esata. 2 slots fits 3.5/2.5 drives like an external casedeathboy
    • oh you're losing speed then. ThermTk is working directly to the motherboard.plash
    • 3.5 gigs a sec. on usb 3, sata on docsplash
    • Blazing fast. i can transfer a HD 1080p movie from HD to mem stick in less than 30 sec.plash
    • i dont use it often. but i picked it up for 40 bucks because i liked the option to dock internals quick and easydeathboy
    • and becuase my mobo/processor gave out on a project and need to yank drives for transferdeathboy
