Question on external enclosures

EmAn · 10-28-08, 01:10 PM

I have an external enclosure for my WD6400AAKS coming from newegg. I am wondering if I have to do anything to the drive before I put it in. It already has a lot of info on it that I do not want to lose. I also plan to use e-sata at home and usb at Job Corps.

TIA
