Hi,
I was thinking of trying out a removable HDD caddie to enable me to easily swap HDDs on my PC, as a convenient way to separate multiple OSes and Apps on my system.

Anyone installed a removable HDD enclosure? Any recommendations or problems I should know about?

I have located a DataSwap IDE Removable Hard Drive Enclosure from ANTEC :

Anyone already have experience with this product, and are there any better ones on the market?

I have used RH-10 removable drive trays with EIDE drives and had no problems with them. They seem to provide adequate ventilation with 5400 RPM drives, but you should probably get one with a fan for faster drives. I bought them from ComputerGate (http://www.computergate.com/cgi-bin/search?sn=166306367174856&ty=ct). They are considerably less expensive than the Antec's.
