I need to back some data up and I have a 40Gb HDD here doing nothing at the moment so I'm going to buy one of these USB2 enclosuers.
PC World have one for £25 but the quality ain't that great, so does anybody have any recomendations??
Thanks in advance.
Wait for SCAN's icybox offer. Cheaper than 25 quids and the quality is decent

ICYBOX are very good. I also have an AKASA enclosure which are also execllent quality. The best thing about both these enclosures is that they are passively cooled and have no horrible, noisy, nasty, unbearible, crappy, painfull, irratating, (you get the picture!!) cooling fans!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by m0cea
Thanks for the info guys.
Yes, go for a passively cooled box and make sure you have it out in the open (not burried under magazines and books)
Those small fans on enclosers have to spin faster to keep things cool so they make more noise than the lower RPM large fans.
i have seen a nice one in this months custompc, look on thier site or mag if u have it, its upstairs at the moment lol
