Question

I'm looking to have two hard disks installed in my computer permanantly - I currently use a disk caddy.

Im looking for some piece of hardware that will allow me to switch which hard drive is booted from. I know you can use software boot managers but I favour a piece of hardware.

I know of one unit available in the states by romtec http://www.romtecusa.com/start.htm but was wondering if there was anything a little closer to home?

So is all you want a dual boot? Or is this a work thing?

Hello

Unless you want to do something more ambitious, you can just swap which hard drive to boot from in the bios settings.
