RadioShack.com has the Thermaltake BlacX USB Docking Station for $30 - $20 rebate [Exp 12/13] + $0 shipping = $10 shipped after rebate. Slam your hard drive into it to make it into a USB external hard drive. Check out this quick look at how it functions.

    #15 i have several of the "crap" usb adapters from diff mfg. they can be a bit cranky to use sometimes but are very handy, u can often see them listed here for around 12-15 bucks. the 2.5, 3.5 IDE/SATA model i got last time seems to work pretty good, but i forget where it was on sale, prob meritline or pcmicrostore. usually when i have trouble with one i have to uninstall the usb hubs listed in control panel/system/hardware devices and let them reinstall themselves before the problem will clear up

    My hard drive likes vertical orientation. Variety is the spice of life...

    how well does this work? i would think an exposed hard drive is pretty dangerous for the data?

    #13, you should worry about the drive being naked in public eyes, instead of its orientation.

    these work great, got one for home, and then liked it so much, set up a cheapo backup solution at work with another one.
