Vantec SATA EZ Swap Review

Today's computer market is becoming more and more focused on a system that is flexible and modular. Multifunction drives, hot swappable ports, fan controllers, LCD's, customizable power supplies and more all contribute to systems that can grow with a user. One feature that has been ever present in the server market that has slowly permeated the consumer levels is the removable hard drive. This was a neat feature several years ago, though mostly useless. The removable hard drive trays of yore were cheap, beige, ugly, and thanks to IDE, not hot swappable. Now, the advent of SATA has breathed new life into the removable hard drive market, allowing drives to be changed on the fly. It is this feature that Vantec's new product, the EZ Swap, takes advantage of.
