Go in for the "Vantec" casing. They offer no disconnection and perform superbly.

Don't tell me most didn't know about this HDD casing stuff...

vantec's much more xpensive. when i went the dealer quoted 2k or sumthing.

I have bought a lst 120 gb hard disk for 4500/- from ebay bidding....i want to convert it to a external harddisk for my laptop...is it possible and what size of case should i buy????

 

[parthbarot]

ya laptop hdd is better bcs, its small in size so can keep it in pocket like a calculator.

and cost are not much varying as i think.

ok if i buy a 40 GB hdd with a good casing... tell me how much will it cost... i can shell out a max of 4K

 

[parthbarot]

see.
PC HDD u will get at abt between 2.5 to 3k (40 GB)
and USB case is abt 800 to 1k..

so its 4 to 4.5K max..

i thnk u can get it in 4k.

Ya pure luck... take this...

I carried my hdd to my friends place... when my 3 yrs old IDE ATA seagate 80 gb 7200 rpm fell out of my hands while having fun with my friends.....

I was shell shock... and only recover when i saw it working perfectly... thanks heaven

The hdd fell from good 4 feet and the impact was no ordinary slip-and-fell-out-of-hand..... And i wow only to buy Seagate hdd hence forth... goodness me...

Oh I recently bought a new Kingston 1GB pen Drive.
But this thread made me think that My 3600 bucks gone wasted.

i have a 40 gb hdd extra ...

can i make it external 2 ??? any casing for that 1 ???

u can make it external, just get a 3.5" casing

and yes it will work on usb 1.1

 

[Kniwor]

i just got one 3 days back and it's very useful, + it does not require external poer so it's actually handy

 

[shwetanshu]

me too i crry it everywhere with my pen drive, bluetooth dongle hanging down my neck and hdd in my pocket

 

[gxsaurav]

what i use these days is simply my phone, K700i, atleast for me the files being transfered are small, so 42 MB is enough for me, i take files of my 3D work in my phone to my isnti too

 

[Kniwor]

hey kniwor ... which case did u get 4 ur 3.5" hdd ??? no external power supply, wow ... as i was

told 3.5" ecases require power supply ...

hey i have myself clearly said that 3.5¨ casing requires external power in my post above.

I got a 2.5¨ external HDD and hence i said that.
