Computer Geeks has the removable IDE drive enclosures for about $10. They aren't USB but their fast and very handy when you want to move some multi-GB DVD video files around. I put one in every PC I build.

I am looking like an external drive for my notebook. This 80GB is dirt cheap & is of top quality. I saw once from IWILL for $35 + s&H from newegg.

ICUE ME-320 can be had for around $55 shipped. it will convert CDRW/HD from internal to USB.

actually FRY's has it. So, I think we can find it any of the stores around around 30-40. I decided to buy WD 80GB for 50, so portable becomes less than $100. LOL.

$48

Lots

Bought one here. $31 Works great! Shipping was quick and FREE. One thing I've noticed is that all 3.5/5.5 usb enclosures require you to plug it into an additional power source. However notebook drive enclosures don't have the same requirements and run directly off the usb port.

Does anyone know where to get a cheap external usb enclosure for a notebook harddrive?
