Require good quality HDD enclosure

[Musharat]

I newly switched to a novel AMD based construct and my old 40 GB Seagate PATA is getting exhausted since I don't require it to be within the rig. Now, I wish to utilize it as an exterior HDD and require an excellent quality HDD enclosure for it. To speak the fact, I don't have even slight idea regarding which product to go for. I investigated regarding the similar in eBay and got a few results about anonymous brands. Quite puzzled on the stuff, please advise a few great choices. It should have USB/eSATA to IDE/PATA cable.

First of all tell me one thing that, Where do you live? Good products of HDD cases are tough to discover, you can purchase any product of which you have heard the name and index and so on. Cooler master or antec cases are too luxurious and just not obtainable. I acquired a tech-com case just a week before. You can seem for a case with a fan. It remains the HDD cooler. I wish this will helps you.

For PATA HDDs just Tech-com, Enter and a few additional cheap enclosures are obtainable in the market. You may obtain it for 500 to 600 depending upon the place you are. Likewise I would not suggest you to purchase any expensive case for the IDE drive as you may maintain it for one more year or two after that it will be a dissipate and you won’t discover IDE HDDs then to utilize your expensive casing. Therefore my suggestion would be to go for such cheap casings and save a few cash for your novel SATA HDD. The Tech-com and enter both are nice for the wealth you spend on it and they will serve your point for now.

Yes, in fact, later than reading lots of information from other sites, I will as well recommend that you go for these brands. There is not greatly in cases which can go incorrect, so you can faith them. You can purchase tech-com as the manufacture quality is great and the Case is very steady in standing situation. As well, I don't feel that PATA cases will contain eSATA connector. While the HDD's interface itself does not permit high speeds of SATA, what's the mean of eSATA interface on the case? You will just get USB interface.

The manufacture quality is excellent, installation is cable less and hence too easy. Two screws and even the screw driver are given in the box itself. The case is pretty stable on its side. Average rates are around 29 to 30 MB/s. HDD is WD green 500 GB 42 MB cache model. I purchased it for Rs. 500. If you are purchasing one, try to obtain it checked earlier than leaving the store. I suppose the packed USB cable was defective, I am utilizing it with my printer's cable at present.
