I'm not that familiar with hardware so I pardon this simple question.
I recently purchased a drive that I want to put in an external enclosure. I need to make sure I buy a compatible case.
The drive is a Maxtor 300GB, Ultra ATA/EIDE. Can I just buy any case that supports IDE or is there a benefit from purchasing a case that specifically supports EIDE?
Any recommendations for a case? There seem to be a million to choose from. I want one that is USB 2.0 and, based on the opinions of friends, I'm looking for one with a fan. This drive will be used for backups and as storage for MP3s.
Thanks.
