Recommend a 3.5" HDD Enclosure

Encore2097 · 05-08-06, 02:12 PM

So Im looking for a 3.5" HDD enclosure to house a 200GB IDE hdd. Looking at the following requirements:

-USB 2.0 ( + FireWire would be nice )
-Slim form factor (aka nothing flashy, just a nice small enclsoure) or an enclosure with a fan

Can anyone recommend one with those specs at a decent price (preferablly cheap) and basically I dont want corrupt data or anything just want the thing to work

It doesn't matter. I have metal and plastic, small holes and large, different colors, and it affects nothing. I choose not to have fans because they are annoying and it is not like they get that hot or run 24/7.
