Hey all,

I'm looking at a Crucial SATA III SSD, and curious what sort of enclosure I should get for it, as I'll be sharing this device between two laptops. Ideally I'd love a USB 3.0 interface as I"m not sure of the speeds of the eSATA ports on the laptops, and both rigs have USB 3.0 ports.

Just curious if anyone has seen such a beast.

I can find SATA II enclosures that do USB 3.0 all over the place. Funny enough they all claim up to 5Gbit transfer speeds because of USB 3.0, well beyond the 3Gbit theoretical limit of SATA II ... I digress.

Don't really want to spend more than $100 on an enclosure since the Crucial SSD is already going to run me close to $200, and hopefully the enclosure will be self-powered via USB.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
