[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1057514, member: 33722"] OK, gotcha now. The initial description sounded (to me) like there was some product out there that allowed one to plug an external HDD into an internal HDD via some port on the internal HDD like Legos. Macsales.com (Other World Computing) has a multi external HDD connector/adaptor for about $20 that will handle ATA/PATA/SATA/eSATA/etc drives and connect them to your system. Of course you'll probably cook the drive eventually, and it could get get jostled around pretty easily. SMART definitely won't be supported in any meaningful sense on a naked HDD just sitting there outside an enclosure. Good luck and welcome. SMART is supported on a large variety of Apple systems.
