USB external Hard Drive?

[moi]

Is there such a thing or a "box" to make one so I can use the drive between laptop & desktop?
any info & LINKS appreciated
Thanks

There are USB 2.5", 3.5" and CDROM enclosure.
Do the search on "USB Enclosure" at Pricewatch....price start around $65

You could alternatively pick up a usb zip drive (for next to nothing form eb*y). Given usb's bandwidth limitations, this will likely be just as fast as any other solution you come up with.
