All,

I need suggestions on taking a regular IDE hardrive and converting it to
a hot-swappable USB drive for storage use.
There is so many kits and such to do this I cant decide.
Has anyone doe this?
What did you use and what is your experience?
I have teo dives to convert.
I would rather not have a bunch of wires involved but if it is neccessary
ok.
Looking for a good cheap but quality medium point.

THANKS,
b

Thanks guys.
I will just go with the cheapo and see how it works. Since all I need is
IDE capability right now that should work for me. Came out to under $13 on
Ebay for the one Dimitrios linked to.
