3.5 inch HDD addon package

[d4]

Cubietech has a package to use 3.5 inch HDD  with their boards.  It features a small board to convert a 12V power input to 12V-5V (for the HDD) and 5V (for the actual computing board); and cables to connect the whole of it.

The product is described here http://cubieboard.org/2013/09/24/how-to-support-3-5-inch-hdd-on-cubieboard/

I would find it quite useful for your products as well . (Probably people that know electronics better than I do, those people would be able to prepare such a gadget by themselves; but for me it would be useful).

You can use the board you are referring also for the Olimex boards, it uses the same connectors.

And for HD's which don't need 12V (most used in laptops don't) they already sell this cable set https://www.olimex.com/Products/Components/Cables/SATA-CABLE-SET/
