    This is a good deal if you still have an IDE Drive. Local stores here carry this for $35.

    OMG, seriously, Ben.. wtf? USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. So when you say USB bus, you are being redundant. You know, like ATM machine, PIN number, etc. AARRGH!!

    I've got a few of these and just ordered 3 more.

    They work.

    $6 shipped, no rebate is a good deal.

    I got one of these a couple of months ago. It works well with an old laptop drive I had. USB Y cable in case your PC doesn't provide enough power from one. I wouldn't buy a new Hard drive for it the SATA drives are a lot cheaper.
