Speaking a guy that removes more than his fair share of hard drives from failing enclosures and laptops, I love this clever twist.
Turn any standard 2.5″ internal SATA drive into an external drive with the Silicone USB SATA 2.5″ Drive Enclosure. No tools are needed – simply pull the enclosure over the hard drive. The silicone enclosure covers the drive but still allows ventilation to prevent overheating. The enclosure uses a MA6116 chipset and SATA L-type internal data and power connections and supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. It has a built-in USB cable and is compatible with Windows and Mac computers. It’s 4.3″X2.9″X0.5″ and weighs 1.4 ounces. It’s $9.99.
