722 & USB SATA docking station

[kmmcdonald]

We have had a USB hard drive connected to our 722 successfully for some time. The drive is about full, and it's time to upgrade.

I am considering a USB SATA docking station (e.g. Startech SATADOCKU2E) and 2TB SATA hard drive. Has anyone tried a combination like this successfully?

thanks

Never heard of Startec, but you might want to look at Thermaltake BlackX. I have two and they are perfect.

I have both a Startech and a BlackX, they work fine.
Personally I prefer a docking station with a sata hard drive rather than a standard USB external hard drive.
Just seems easier, quicker and cheaper to swap hard drives that way.
