I have an extra IDE HD that I have hooked up to a IDE to USB converter. It's not in an enclosure currently. Kind of ghetto, but it is off in a hidden corner, and it works. I have it in a "cradle" sideways, so it stays relatively cool.

But I'm getting tired of the "bare" drive and now I am in the market for an external enclosure for it. About the only place I can find a variety of enclosures is over at the Egg.

So, finally... My question. Any recomendations on where to buy enclosures? Or Newegg the place to go?

If I go for one, I thought it would be nice to have PATA/SATA inputs and USB/ESATA outputs. A little more money, fewer options of what to buy, but provides me the most flexibility. If anyone has a recomendation on what's a good quality enclosure, that would great, also.

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
hmmm.

Seems to have lots of stuff, but a lifetime ResellerRatings of 2.27.:eek:

Have you had any personal experience with them?
 
I plan on getting a IDE/SATA-USB/eSATA enclosure, too. The one from EagleTech, on the 'Egg - $27 I think. But, as you said, it has all the bases covered.
