Link Depot 2.5-inch Portable HDD Enclosure

I bought this to retrieve and reuse the hard drive from my laptop. Found it easy to install and set up and now i have a working external hard drive all thanks to this wonderful HDD enclosure.

The enclosure is a light construction aluminum and meets the very basic requirements for maintaining a "pocket-sized" potable hard drive. This HDD enclosure is an acceptable alternative to a typical jump-drive, whose memory capacity exceeds current capabilities. I don't feel that the enclosure would provide adequate protection if put to the test, and lacks overall durability; however, it gets the job done!

happened to be exactly what I was looking for - simple, power and data integrated into one USB cable, no driver CD needed, handy slip cover and a screwdriver - installation was a breeze. could have been designed a little prettier.

Excellent product. Saved a old HD from extinction.

Had an extra laptop hard drive kicking around and needed an external hard drive to free up some space on my computer. For the price it certainly did the trick. It was really easy to put together and even included the little screwdriver necessary for installation. The down side is in features, I suppose. This is the simplest of cases imaginable. You just plug the hard drive in and then screw the case into place around it, which does make it so the hard drive could bang around if you weren't careful with it. Since I don't intend to move the thing a lot, I think it'll be fine, but be aware of that.
