My friend's Dell DJ crapped itself and we decided to dismantle it (problems with the data port and such). He offered me the parts since he had no use for them, so now I have a 20 GB Hitachi Travelstar in perfect working condition. I'm wondering if there are any housing/adapters I could purchase for it so I could use this as an external drive?

Thanks

Bytecc BT-200 BT-300, or any 2.5" external enclosure.

The BT200 was recently on sale at newegg for $18. Its an enclosure-less adapter & power brick that supports regular and notebook hard drives.

Its great if you have multiple hard drives and only want to buy one device.

Otherwise an enclosure is more convenient.
