Hard drive caddy?

Hi,

I have a 250gb internal ide hard drive. Is there a caddy that I can get so that i can hook it up by usb to my newer computer?

Thanks

There are loads out there this is ony £14.98 http://www.amazon.co.uk/External-Black-hi-Speed-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B000JK769E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280052091&sr=8-1

there indeed are loads out there, but you have to be careful what you buy as... like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. ive had some really cheap ones where the IDE bridge (processor that makes the whole thing work) has blown simply by plugging it in... i would suggest you invest in an icy box, never had a problem with them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Icy-Box-Aluminium-Enclosure-Interface/dp/B0006842C8

they also come in sata versions too, so if you decide to get a terabyte hard drive later down the line...

I use a hard drive dock, that way you can plug in a variety of hard drives if needed. Plug and play, just plug HDD in, switch on, use, switch off, take hard drive out.
