Sharkoon Intros SATA QuickPort Quattro 4-Drive Dock
Sharkoon rolled out its take on a four-slot HDD/SSD dock, the SATA QuickPort Quattro. The device lets you connect up to four SATA HDDs or SSDs in 3.5" or 2.5" form-factors, like inserting cartridges into ye olde video game consoles. Measuring 285x165x95 mm (LxWxH), the dock, the dock weighs a little over a kilogram. It connects the drives to a host system over USB 3.0 or eSATA 3 Gb/s. There are separate power buttons that let you activate/deactivate individual drives, as well as individual power/activity LEDs. The unit is cooled by two fans, the speed of each fan can be adjusted manually. Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Quattro will be priced at around €99.

I TOLD YOU SO. They should combine effort with 'Hackman'!
Anyone else do this?
I like this, would be very useful for me. Too pricey though, I'd go for the 2-drive version (if it exists).
Just plugging 2 cables after all : ]
A friend of mine that does directing/producing for indie movies would find value in this. Several drives are passed around the editors, and he's not the most technical type. Can see it now... him trying to swap drives in and out of his system, then a puff of smoke when one of the power leads touches a solder point :D
I like this, considering I have about 2 TB of HDD's (about 7, and 3 in my case right now)scattered around my office and I'm always looking for files.
