    USB to Sata Connector

    Anyone recommend a connector for connecting a SATA drive to USB. Ive seen a few but quality is a factor and dont want a crappy one. It'll only be used for backups etc, not permanently plugged in.

    eBay is your best bet for this kind of stuff.

    I bought mine 4 months ago and have been using it full time since.

    Hasn't blown up yet.

    Make sure it comes with all the cables you need as some don't include the power transformer etc.

    Yeah... there are loads on Ebay. And there are a few different ones available on Amazon UK quite cheaply as well.

    But if you want guaranteed quality... you might want to consider AC Ryan's 'UDrive'
