I have a laptop HD (2.5"?) that I'd like to connect to a desktop PC. Anybody make something lie this, internal or external? Links if you've got 'em.

Most likely SUOrangeman wants to use it as a slave or other data storage device. I'm sure he has a standard 3.5" HDD for everyday use.

Welcome to my world of top-secret computer labs for the gub'ment. I'm trying to figure out how to use a laptop drive now that someone's taken the laptop. The laptop had been in the lab unused for months, so someone wanted to make use of it. And if you know your proper handling procedures for top-secret materials, the laptop could go, but the drive had to stay or be destroyed, blah blah blah.

So, it recently occurred to me that using the laptop drive without the laptop could greatly lessen my time required for paperwork, etc.

Make sense?

Well, I couldn't find anything on the site mentioned above, but I did find these:

Not bad for six bucks. I definitely wouldn't mind and external solution, but these adapters certainly are a start.

DOH!!! Comoutergate's site is down. The usually have all the hard to find odds and ends. I have NLX case that uses a converter to change a slim laptop CD-ROM to standard IDE and it worked just fine. They should all work the same no matter where you get it.
