Hi Henrik

Ah I understand. Yes because the Mybook it works as you would expect i.e.
the drive appears in My computer as soon as you plug it in. The Lacie
required drivers, then created a new network connection to communicate with
the drive via the USB cable, talk about over complicating things!

Yes the charge was only £35 in total including delivery, so it's no big
problem.

Thankyou and others for all the help with this problem, much appreciated.

From: Kerry Brown on
I have used these enclosures with both Samsung and Seagate drives.

http://mediasonicinc.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=26_34&products_id=46

I have found they keep the drives cooler than most brand name solutions that
come with drives installed. I have a couple of dozen in use at various
sites.

Granite Digital also makes some excellent products.

http://www.granitedigital.com/index.asp

I haven't used their USB products but I have used one of their eSATA
enclosures to add more drives to a server that was out of room. I was
impressed with the quality of the parts and their service.
