USB ENCLOSURE

hELLo.

I got my HD from Staples! I even applied for the rebate!

Now, I'm looking for a cheap usb enclosure. Appreciate your help on not getting ripped off like I did Thanksgiving night at Compusa...apparently, I paid retail price on those blank DVDs...

How about one of these?
IDE/SATA Hard Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter w/ On/Off Switch for 3.5" IDE Hard Drives, 2.5" Notebook Hard Drives, 3.5" SATA Hard Drives and 5.25" CD/DVD Drives (Blue, Retail)

Okay...how does this work? I dont' see an enclosure to actually hold the HD is there?

that's kinda the beauty. You can use any hard drive as an external USB drive, without an enclosure.

oh...okay...I'll order it today or tomorrow.
But what if I get zapped? will that happen?

Not likely . . . It's probably more likely for you to zap the drive than the drive to zap you. Just don't touch the circuit board on the bottom of the drive.
