Hard Disk Case?
Hello. Two years back my roomate bought something like this off ebay. It
was a plastic case with wires (the ones that connect cd roms to the computer or hard drives). In this case he put in a normal hard drive and plugged it in. There it was a portable hard drive. Does anyone know what this case is called or where I can get one? Thanks for any help. RJP |
