I've just bought a new laptop that has an eSATA connection. I have a couple of 3.5" internal hard drives that I want to turn into external ones to use with the laptop. Now am I correct in assuming I wouldn't need any power supply to drive the drives as it would be done by the eSATA connection? Am I also correct in assuming I wouldn't need any cooling device for them as they'd be operating outside of the confines of a desktop PC?
I've seen these silicone cases on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5-SATA-IDE-HDD-Hard-Disk-Drive-Silicon-Enclosure-Case-/370386068223
Would a couple of those do the job do you think?
Any help is appreciated.
