Incase you replaced your laptop or Desktop hard drive with a new SATA harddrive, what you do with your old 2.5 HDD ? Well, instead of throwing it out or selling it at the cheap rate, you can easily convert it into Portable HardDrive. By buying a simple external enclosure, you can recycle your hard drive.
First of all make sure your Hard Drive is SATA or IDE, and accordingly buy an external enclosure. Once you bought the enclosure, follow these simple steps to install your hard drive:
- Using a screwdriver, remove the screws to open your case.
- Remove the cover.
- Insert and then plug the hard drive on the S-ATA box.
- Depending on your case, it may be that you have to attach the hard disk to the housing so it does not move.
- Close the box.
- Screw it. And now, you have a portable external hard drive!
