Because I am really cheap and budget-minded, even so I could get it if I save for a while; I will be talking about the hard drive enclosure. When I thought about it before, I thought to myself, “This will take so much of my desk space.” Well I was wrong.
The enclosure I picked up was the Ultra 3.5 external HD enclosure and it supports USB 2.0. I have a Maxtor 120 GB hard drive from my computer while inside, I have a 200GB hard drive as my primary drive.
Getting the hard drive inside the enclosure was easy, taking it out was tough. The only problem I had was getting the power hookup from the hard drive. It was kind of snug in there and it took me just about an hour to get it off before I break the whole thing. Once I have it in the enclosure, with all of the screws in place, I plugged it in the socket and the USB port. The only thing I had to do was format through the Disk management on Windows XP.There are many ways you can use the HD enclosure;
- Quick backup system for files and folders.
- Your podcasts you downloaded can be stored there.
- A place you can put your large video files at.
- A bridge between your laptop and your desktop.
- A great companion at internet cafes
- Bridging your work from home to someone else computer.
There might be more usages for these enclosures, so hit me up with more ideas.
