[Cialug] Drive switch

[John D. Todd]

If you are refering to something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16802102001

It actually only switches the jumper settings, in theory changes which 
drive is booted from. There are mixed results with various HD/MOBO 
configs.

If you are looking toward a HD sled Computer Solver has some in stock.
