ripken204 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 i have an 80GB SATA 2.5" laptop drive that i am no longer using.it came with my new laptop but i just put in a 320GB drive.so i might as well use the 80GB drive for backup/portabilityso now i need to find a good external enclosure for it.definatly needs to have USB 2.0 and eSATA would be nice as my motherboard has it already.newegg has so many external enclosures...do any of you recommend any?
Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) I get mine from ebay...You can find several different types that are brand new and will cost you like 6-9 bucks total...http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-Laptop-2-5-Inc...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited February 8, 2008 by Kelsenellenelvian
ripken204 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 i dont really care about price. i want something that wone let my hdd die in a year.
Zxian Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Chances are it won't be the enclosure that kills your drive, but rather the shakes and bumps it gets from being in your bag that will kill it.I'd highly recommend Vantec enclosures. I've got a 2.5" enclosure for my laptop drive, and one for a 3.5" drive as well. Both work flawlessly, and are built well.
