Internal HDD

[jpetroz4]

I was wondering where i could buy an inclosure to convert an internal laptop hardrive into an external i can hook up to my desktop, if they even make them?

Thanks in advance!

Cables To Go - LAPTOP to IDE HARD DRIVE ADAPTER

I have one of similar design. They are just pieces to rewire the outputs. All you need it to plug it in and use it. I'm not too sure about the enclosure part though.

What you are looking for is a hard drive enclosure. You can find them on NewEgg for about $10 to $25. Be careful you get the right enclosure type. There are 2 criteria:

Size: 1.8" or 2.5"
Interface: PATA or SATA

External Enclosures, External Hard Drive Enclosures, USB External Enclosures at Newegg.com

Click the size you want on the left (most likely 2.5") and you will be given a bunch of choices.

Here you go - £19.99 AKASA AK-ENP2N-SL at PC World - Buy cheap - AKASA AK-ENP2N-SL SILVER EXTERNAL ENCLOSURE FOR 2.5" HARD DISK DRIVE

PC world has a load of them you might need to dig around a little to find one that you like to look of.
