can external hard drive be formatted into several drives?

 

[Kaido]

Newegg has a Bytecc external enclosure on sale for $30 - linkage

I ordered it the other day, should be here tomorrow. Nice price, has good reviews, and can hold either a 3.5" hard drive or a 5.25" optical drive. It's USB 2.0.

That enclosure is ok. Frankly i dont even know what the difference is between all of them. I did have an IOgear enclosure that went bad within a year. They fixed it for me but when it came back it was missing parts and had scratches everywhere. :frown:

To partition the HD without 3rd party software check here.
