Any IDE BlacX type enclosures?

Anyone know if there are any IDE devices similar to the above? Basically looking for USB only connection. eSata would be nice but I doubt this exists.

I have several BlacX's and these are godsends in terms of convenience. I have a lot of older IDE drives lying around which could be made useful again if this type of device exists.

You'll have to settle for either an IDE-to-USB converter cable or an external enclosure of some sort. I don't believe that IDE drives ever had "standard" locations for the data and power connectors on the rear of the drive like SATA drives do.

I use the adapters for here for my ide type hard drive USB connectors. Not as slick but fairly cheap to buy and use.

Thanks a bunch for the links! While not as pretty as the BlacX, those will do in a pinch. Much better than swapping them in and out of standard enclosures.
