New technology warrants a %$#tload of stupid questions. The 1. 8" HDs boggled me the first time I got to see one; even more so when I discovered that a new technology was invented without making a way to back up and duplication/ghosting the drive easier for administrators.
(rant over) without further ado. . .
I run disk to disk ghosting and I save images onto a larger portable USB harddrive.
Right now, we use a ZIF to IDE. . . . THEN. . . IDE to USB so we don't have to pop open or shutdown the PC down all the time. Problem being that my ghost images are on a 250GB USB drive, and when I connect a second USB drive, the first USB HD vanishes all ninja style. (Can we say HASSLE! :-x).
Anyway, does anyone have a recommendation?
Also, I see a lot of comments about ZIF connectors have to match the company of the harddrive. (i. e. , A ZIF adatper built for Toshiba HDs will not function for the Hitachi HDs). Is this true? anyone try this out for sure?
