HDD Casing?

stardust2000_uk

Does anyone have any recommendations for HDD 3.5" cases? We've two old computers we want to get the data off (without using floppy disks!) and I need a large volume back up drive for my laptop and we thought the best way was to take out the hard drives, copy the data off them through the casing and then put in a larger volume drive to use as a backup.

I did a quick search but don't want to buy the cheapest in case it's useless!

Thanks

Scan sell plenty at good prices, depends if it's SATA or PATA https://www.scan.co.uk

To be honest people like Scan do good quality 1TB external drives for around £ 65. Given that the large drive you talk about will probably cost that as a bare drive I'd just buy the £ 65 1tb drive and copy all of your data from the old computers onto it. Instead of paying £ 20 for a casing, and then 65 plus on a 1Tb drive later. I think what I'm saying is forget the casing, buy and external drive. Ooh, unless your old computers don't have USB.
