I'm having a bit of a hard time finding a good enclosure for my old laptop harddrive. It's a 32GB 2.5" hard drive--
Everything seemed great until I realized it was 12.5mm. That means it won't fit in 99% of the USB hard drive enclosures, and won't work with them even if I leave the case off.

I have two simple questions now ^_^

A) Anyone know who manufactures this particular case?

I cannot find the stupid manufacturer's website to verify everything :(

B) Anyone have any suggestions about which enclosure I should use?

_Other info_
Drive: IBM Travelstar 32GB
P/N: 07N8097
Power Req: 5V 1.0A

I just bought one from the same guy. Its a flat silver one with black ends. I bought a 20 gig laptop drive from some guy who needed monies bad for 10$.

All total, $21 for a 20 gig usb hard drive. Not bad. My computer detected it and worked fine. My brothers computer is playing dumb and is prentending that it isnt there.

So, some compatibility issues perhaps. Ive heard that some of these drives loose data now and then. For $11.00, dont expect it to be good. Like what tom hanks said on the movie money pit:

You know how you go to the DMV, and theres a really long line and a really short line, but you never go in the short line because you think theirs something wrong with it?
