Hi Peeps
Has anybody had any experience of removable harddrives in a rack and what to look out for. By enclosing it, do you really need to worry too much about temperature, as some have fans installed and some even temperature gauges, but that seems a bit OTT .
As there has been so many break-ins around here, I thought I might take the harddrive with me when going away.
Anyone tried this or something like this below. Thanks for any replies.

Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...

Have had something similar over 10 years - just a bog-standard rack that fits into one of the PC drive bays. I used it mainly for developing/testing software for a variety of Windows systems (bloody customers..pah), so had a rack and several drive trays.
Shouldn't need anything too fancy unless you have "bleeding-edge" drives - would be a bit concerned about taking the drive on hols though, maybe have a look at a small safe you can bolt to the wall.0 -
ManAtHome,
Thanks for replying-I was either going take it with me or stash it like you suggest. "bleeding-edge" drives" - no idea what that is but it sounds macabre.

Bleeding edge is one up from cutting edge, ie that the technology is that new that it is a risk to use it, either because the technology is not tried and tested, or it costs so much that it is painful on the wallet if it goes wrong;)
However, unless you are talking 10k rpm terabyte sata2 drives I wouldn't worry too much!0 -
