You can get a USB external caddy SATA or IDE from www.ebuyer.com for around £20 In fact I was looking at them yesterday for a friend and all three of Scan.co.uk, Aria.co.uk and ebuyer.com stock them. Not much choice though - mainly the IcyBox - for some odd reason IDE caddies are much more common than SATA. There are also eSATA options but a) they are expensive compared to others and b) they require the server to have eSATA on the motherboard. Question. If it's going in a caddy does it *have* to be SATA? If not your choice is much wider. Being USB of course you can just unplug it and toddle off home at the end of the day.
