2.5" USB with programmable button

Can someone recommend a good external case for a 2.5" laptops drive that has a programmable button? I'm trying to setup a PHD device so our non-tech users can walk up to a server, attach a drive, press the button on the drive, and the backup files from the night before will be replicated to that drive.

I just need the button to launch a replicator program like Karen's Replicator.

Thanks.

"Make a perfect copy of a SATA hard disk with this external HDD duplicator and dock. Just drop a SATA drive into both of the dock slots... and press one button! Everything on the master disk is copied to the target, including operating system files and preference files... an exact clone! The dock can also be connected to any computer to act as a USB 2.0 plug-and-play external drive. Includes USB cable and AC adapter. Requires Microsoft Windows 2000+ or Mac OS 10.3+. Hard disks not included.


Supports all 2.5" & 3.5" SATA disk drives

Re: 2.5" USB with programmable button

Thanks, but I'm looking for a portable enclosure as there are four of them rotated on a weekly basis. I just need the enclosure to have a button that will launch as replicator program to copy specified files to the drive.

This adapter - »kingwin.com/products/cate/access···2535.asp - handles all the types of HDDs. It has "One Touch Backup" (a button on the adapter), but I don't know how much configuration ability it has, as I use another process to do the backups. If you want, I can install the OTB software and give it a peek.

Edit: I installed the software and it has quite a bit of ability for OTB backups.
