| I just 'built' my own enclosed drive as a back unit for my laptop..  I work out of my house and have a company issued laptop.  A month ago my work laptop got fried, but fortunately I was able to recover the files on HD by taking the drive out and copying the files to CD by using a specially desgined connector on a desk top.   Since then I acquired a Nexstar enclosure and a 20gb laptop HD.  Connects via USB 2 port.  Total cost is about $80.  Works like a champ.  Use it mainly as a back up, but also has its place to transfer files from on PC to another.  And much cheaper than USB flash type drives.  The small size means I can take it with me when I travel. |
