Case for 80GB IDE HDD + 1TB HDD

[bajaj151]

I have 80GB IDE HDD...I want to make it External.

What should I consider before buying case ??
Is it possible to make USB HDD (No external Power) ?


Also...Suggest me 1TB SATA (3gb) HDD

--> WD Black or Seagate

I use a USB/Esata dock made by Thermaltake. It will run your HDD with either a USB 2.0 connection, or an esata connection. I use esata myself for better performance. The dock does require power for running the HDD. No getting around that as far as I know. As far as another HDD, I prefer Western Digital myself, but thats just my personal opinion.

Why don't you google? because we don't know where you live, and it varies from region to region.

I agree with johnshaw1917 Western Digital for the hard drive. They have gave me good service for many years now.
