Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the options! I guess I should have given a little bit more information. I'm not looking for a backup device. Ideally I'd like to pull all of the pertinent files off (most of which I should have backed up anyway) and then store it in case I need it. It's sort of like a lab notebook for me, I can go back and figure out when/where/how certain things came about if I have the entire drive intact.
A dock seems like a perfect solution in many ways, but if there isn't a good one out there for this drive (and the one I'm pulling from my "lamp" iMac, then a case seems a reasonable way to move forward, plus it will protect the drive to some extent.
So, is this a silly way to keep my stuff organized? I may never look at it, but I feel the need to save it just in case.
Thanks!
Caroline
