i just bought a new hdd for my laptop and i want to buy a external usb or firewire box for the old harddrive but i cant find one that powered from the usb or firewire. do they exist? ive been looking all over newegg but cant find any.
 
Like this?
I'm assuming it's a 2.5" drive since it's from a laptop. Once you get to the 3.5" drives, they take more power. Not sure if anyone makes an enclosure for them that pulls power from the USB port.
 
yea, im an idiot, i ended up buying that exact one...

thx for the reply.
