1) yes
2) Like this:

3) You can attatch a sata hdd to it but it connects to a computer via usb
4) Amazon, Ebay, etc.

Links to some of the best ones??
like what carnageX said: don't want to get a cheap one! And I tend to always go that route when shopping. (Explains my AMD Radeon 5450 graphics card!)

Tbh this one should be fine - ORICO 2588US3-BK Tool Free USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD – Black - Newegg.com
I own an external enclosure and cloning/docking station by the same company, both work great so far
