Upgrading your notebook to a larger hard drive? Don't know what to do with the old one
Install your old or new mobile drive in one of our high quality 2.5" enclosures. Use it for protection against primary drive failure or a disaster that could effect your valuable data. It gives you the freedom to work anywhere at home, in the office and even on the go.
Our drive enclosures are fully USB 1.1 backward compatible or you can add a new USB 2.0 PCI Card or USB 2.0 CardBus Adapter to take advantage of the much faster USB 2.0 speed.
Meritline USB2.0 thin (mini) hard drive (also called USB HD, USB external hard drive or 2.5" USB hard drive) case/enclosure is ideal for anyone who requires a high performance, lightweight and durable hard drive storage solution.
You can travel and connect it to PC or MAC to access your programs and data files. Just plug in the cable into any notebook, Desktop PC or Mac with USB port and you will have instant access to the files in the drive. With built-in hot swap compatibility, you can connect or disconnect the drive at any time.

Lot's of people have older IDE notebook drives of smaller sizes. These work good for those drives. When you buy a $6.99 enclosure, you aren't buying it first and then finding a drive. That would be pathetic. Instead you have an old drive lying around - it happens - and want some kind of enclosure to make the drive useful again. Come to think of it, I have a perfectly fine 40GB drive sitting in a broken notebook. For $6.99 I can give my niece a nice little backup drive. Good deal.
Quick question, I wanted to double check before I buy. My Powerbook has a ATA-6 harddrive, and I was under the impression that the 2 kinds were ATA and SATA and that ATA and IDE were compatible.
My question is can anyone confirm that ATA and IDE are compatible and that my Powerbook harddrive will work in this enclosure. thanks a million!

only a good deal if you have a old hd lying around. green for op!!
Now THATS what I'm talking about. Nice find.I just took a quick look around at Shop4tech and Meritline for an "inexpensive" up to 12.0mm height 2.5" IDE/USB enclosure - NG. I guess those enclosures are now "ancient history"...
P.S. I *STILL* use a Toshiba 550CDT laptop (w/4GB 2.5" 12.0mm IDE HDD) daily for "surfing". Who would have thought that 4GB be eventually available in FLASH/SD?!?
thanks, I got my SATA version today. It works, but quality is real bad, compared to the one I bought in China 2 months ago for similar price, this is pretty junk.
This is my 1st order on Meritline, and might be the last also.
comixguru said: SATA version is also available for the same price. This one supports up to 160Gb laptop drives.
