Discussion
I have not been able to install a 3.5-inch IDE disk; it is very difficult to assemble, with a high risk of bending and breaking the disk connections.
A dock station with a card reader was ordered. as you can see in the photos there is no card reader on this device. the device works for now. tried it with sata drive.
Ok.
Okay, okay.
