USB/Firewire External Hard Drive Enclosure

[Timmy!!!]

Hi all

I am looking for a very very cheap 3.5" SATA hard drive enclosure that I can use for backup purposes on my laptop using norton ghost 9.

Main prioity is price, it really needs to be cheap!!

Also which is best, usb2 or firewire.


I have been looking for one but I can only seem to find IDE external hard drives

AFAIK there is only SATA to SATA at the moment for serial ATA drives. There seems to be plenty of USB to IDE but no USB to SATA

Poo

I was afraid of that

Ho Hum

Is there any way to get a SATA drive to work with a laptop?
It has usb2, firewire and lan, would any of these work?

Success!!
I have found a usb to sata external hard drive enclosure (I think).

Is this a reasonable price and will it work with norton ghost recovery disk?

EDIT: Crap its not what I thought it was, it has sata and usb connections

This one seems to be correct:

Is this one correct and does it have a reasonable price tag?
