Meritline has the 2.5" External Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure SATA to USB for $7 - $3 off with coupon code MLC426WN = $4 with free shipping. Turn an extra 2.5" notebook hard drive into a portable external drive for more storage space.
2.5" external drive enclosures are commodity items as demonstrated by this price. Shop for your desired USB connector to the drive enclosure. Select from mini-USB, micro-USB, or much harder to find full sized USB. Important when the time comes that you have lost the cable which the enclosure came with.
I got one from last year. It does the job but the transfer speed is terrible... Ex. using a Seagate external USB2.0, I can get ~20-30MB per sec thru-put. With this external enclosure, the speed is only around 5MB, so it's more like USB1.1 than USB0
Got one a few months back, does what it says, no complaints for the price.

I usually buy these for the cable. This one uses a non standard cable. 3 A males in stead of 2 A males and one mini
I actually find the 2 A Male cables to be the more popular. I have gotten three 2.5" enclosures and 2 DVD enclosures that used them.
got one too a few months back, works for me
