External Hard Drive Enclosures

[bruceb]

Looking for an easy to use external hard drive enclosure that can work with either IDE or SATA type hard drives. I have a Sabrent ECS-U35K but that has no method of physically mounting the drive. I don't like the drive just flopping on the end of a connector. I also have a Bytec BT-300 that can interface with most drives, but was looking for something a bit more rugged, in case I need to access a drive externally for date recovery.

Consider a HDD dock that will accept either PATA or SATA drives. Example:

Will have a look at. Not something I need every day, but now and then, it may come in handy. Maybe even to use 2 OS for when I need a more modern OS to run a program.
That says USB 3.0 .. I suppose it will work on USB 2.0 just slower. Not too costly at $65
