I got one a while back. EDIT: But those are external USB... _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination. ASP Checkbox Function Tutorial. (in reply to dzirkelb1)

It needs to take the laptop hard drive (i need to recover data off of it) and be able to plug into another cpu to get the data. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EIK0Z8 (in reply to dzirkelb1)


rdouglass Posts: 9136 From: Biddeford, ME USA Status: offline	RE: laptop hard drive to desktop hard drive converter - 4/30/2008 14:35:57 Should work fine. As long as the computer that you're connecting it to has USB anyways, I use them regularly. *I do see them cheaper at tigerdirect.com and I have very good luck with those guys: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=2781&name=2.5-external-drive-enclosure _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.

USB is definately what I would prefer, much easier than taking apart my cpu and setting up a slave :) (in reply to rdouglass)

rdouglass Posts: 9136 From: Biddeford, ME USA Status: offline	RE: laptop hard drive to desktop hard drive converter - 5/1/2008 17:58:43 Do you like those NAS boxes? I saw a 'shell' NAS device that you drop your own 3.5" drive in for $69 while I was looking at the enclosures. I remember when those NAS's first came out, they were $1K+. I am tempted to say the least. Do a little video serving inside my home...sounds cool to me. _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.

Get one with Linux, web server, file server..... the works :) I just use mine as central storage / backup for my 4 pc home network _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to rdouglass)
