I am currently using an SATA drive and want to upgrade to a larger HDD, but my computer can only hold one hard drive. I don't want to just waste this current drive of mine, so I've been looking for a harddrive enclosure for it. So far, all I can find are enclosures that have SATA-out, as opposed to USB.

Does anyone know a place online that sells an enclosure for a SATA drive, but connects to a computer via USB, not SATA? Does this exist or is it not possible due to some reason I'm not aware of?
 
I think it does exist. Check out www.pcclub.com . Ive gone there for years now. They have external enclosrues of i remember correctly, and aslong as they still do, which im pretty sure they do, they most likely do have the USB kind.
