Hi,
I once saw this awesome device that worked essentially like a firewire/usb external HD, only you would plug into it an actual computer HD.
I can't find it anywhere online, all I get is external HD's (G-Drive, etc.).
Advantages:
So Anyone know what these devices are called? or how to use an internal type hard drive as the back up drive for my imac and macbook? thanks.

Advantages:
- The price of an internal hard drive is incredibly cheaper than that of an external hard drive. For $99 I can get one that is 50% larger than a firewire drive that's 120 bucks.
- They're much smaller, and one device is all you need. You just pop into it the HD you want to use. No need for messing with millions of cables and those huge HD boxes when you (like me) have to deel with many different drives.
- (the big one) They are more reliable: I've already had two external hard drives die one me, where as my computer hard drives, one of which has been working since 2004 essentially, is still good as new. — I'm tired of always being paranoid about my HD dying on me any second.
