its not a typical laptop HDD, there is no external enclosure for it
it needs an adapter of some sort

then either try to get an ipod case off ebay that has no HDD, and get it working...or sell it for hella cheap on ebay to someone who just has a case.... im sure you can get at least $75 for it...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the hard drives Apple uses for the iPod is just a typical laptop hard drive? If this is the case then yes any of those enclosures will work.

typical laptop drives are 2.5 in
this one is a 1.8 inch
and the input is 3.3v where a 2.5in drive takes 5v i believe
