<a href="http://www.sharkoon.de/html/produkte/ex ... ex_en.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is the lil black box. Just drop your sata 2.5" or 3.5" hdd in the top and connect via esata or usb2 and its away and running. Comes with external power lead, no brick all squeezed into the plug. I love it, got 2 sata drives lyin around and another one soon when I buy another tb hdd.

Pretty cheap and feels well made. Has a card reader and 2xusb ports on the front, esata and usb2 on the back as well as the power button. I have read that if you have it plugged in via esata then you cannot access a drive via usb, one or the other for the drive, usb ports on front still work.

A cheap solution to the annoying problem of spare drives hanging around. Comes with esata and usb leads in the box
