Digital BW, The Print

I borrowed a Thermaltake BlakX (see
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/storage.aspx for the current version)
external drive bay to access my old drive.  The old drive appears to
physically work, with the caveat that I can't enter the PW to get to my
user data; so it's useless.  I also notice that the drive gets very hot.

What is the view of these external drive bays.  It would seem to cut the
cost in half compared to buying the small external backup drives. Good
third party backup software seems to be part of the formula. The BlakX
drive bays still suffer from the slow USB connection.  I suppose when
Thunderbolt is more universal they will go to that connection as an
alternative.  If so, that might make the backups made today much easier to
use in the future (unlike the small backup drives that will be stuck with
their USB connections).
