My favorite when you can actually take the hard drive out are the docks like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817388026&cm_re=sata_docking_station-_-17-388-026-_-Product <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817388026&cm_re=sata_docking_station-_-17-388-026-_-Product>Plus if you can get a USB 3.0 connection in your collecting machine it really helps. Otherwise the cable ones in the previous e-mails are great for collecting in situ. If this is just playing around then you don't need to worry about write blockers but if you are ever in the position that a trial could be a possibility I'd look at http://www.wiebetech.com/home.php <http://www.wiebetech.com/home.php>Wiebetech has some really cool products that are not all that expensive (still not cheap) including their really tiny Usb write blocker which you can use with the SATA drive dock or anything that registers as a USB mass storage. Also really cool thing they make is the Hotplug, you can actually transport a live desktop computer without shutting it down. I've seen a live demo but watch the video, seriously fun stuff.
