Hey!

So I read around the internet and it looks like A LOT of people have been converting internal HDD to external HDD for years. What I can't seem to find though is how to do it without needing to add an AC plug to the mix.

I was curious to why it had to be AC powered, and not like premade external HDD where they are USB powered.

So is there a way to create my HDD into an external one without needing to connect it into a power supply?
 
Solution
I can't think of any external enclosure for a 3.5" drive that does not need an AC plug. Too much power needed that the USB data connection can't provide.
