External caddy

[mkr]

Hi. I have a Samsung HM160HC hard drive and I need an external usb caddy so I can use it for back up. I bought a standard usb 2.5" caddy but the disc doesn't fit as there are extra pins. Any recommendations please?

The drive is an older IDE or ATA drive and you need to get the proper enclosure like this one:
