    How it works:Following photos show you how to install a hard drive into the enclosure:


    After install a hard drive inside the enclosure, connect it to a computer USB port, your computer will assign a drive letter to this USB port external hard drive, such as "E" drive, you can load data or install programs to this drive, run program from this drive, copy the files from it or paste files to it.

    Note: This kit is for 2.5" 44-Pin IDE Notebook Hard Drive with 44-Pin connector like this:



    If you are using a hard drive pulled from a laptop computer, the hard drive may have a special connector adapter added to the hard drive and it may look different from above connector. In this case, you need to remove the connector adapter, then you will see the 44-pin connector like above picture, then you can use this enclosure for it. Here are two examples:





    If your hard drive is a SATA hard drive, please view our Enclosure for 2.5" SATA Hard Drive.

    This USB2.0 enclosure kit will be backward compatible with USB 1.1, so if your computer does not have USB2.0 port, it will still work for you as long as you have USB1.1 port. To take advantage of USB2.0's fast speed, you can add USB 2.0 ports to your computer by order USB2.0 card from us. USB2.0 PCI card is for desktop computers, USB2.0 PCMCIA card is for laptop/notebook computers. Please read system requirement of the USB2.0 card before

  • Power source: Powered from USB bus power, for most desktop computers, no external power needed. This kit comes with one USB to 2 USB ports cable, if one USB port does not supply enough power to power the hard drive, you can connect to two USB ports which normally will supply enough power to the hard drive. It can also use optional 5V AC/DC Power Adapter .

    Primary Uses of external hard drives:

  • Adds disk capacity to your desktop or laptop computer without removing your original drive. After connect to the computer with load software driver (you only need to load software driver first time connect to computers), your computer will assign a drive letter to this USB port external hard drive, as such "E" drive, you can load data or install programs to this drive, run program from this drive
  • For those laptops and desktop computers that cannot be upgraded internally, an external drive provides an excellent source of additional storage space.
  • Backup Source. Backup your computers internal hard drive to the external hard drive. Besides being portable, you can restore much faster from an external hard drive than a tape.
  • Alternative to carrying laptops. If you know your destination will have a computer available with USB ports, instead of carrying a complete laptop, just carry the drive with all your applications. Connect it to a computer at your destination and start working. Less weight to carry.

    If you already have 2.5" IDE notebook hard drive, this product can put your spare hard drive to good use. Install it in this external case and use it with your laptop or desktop computers. If you don't have 2.5" IDE notebook hard drives, you can either buy external USB hard drives which already assembled in the enclosures or buy this enclosure together with internal 2.5" IDE hard drive and do installation by yourself.

    * Note: This enclosure will fit any 2.5" IDE notebook hard drive with height up to 9.5 mm. We also have a enclosure that support hard drive height up to 14mm.

    ** Power NOTE: Whether a USB port can power a hard drive depends on the USB port itself and the hard drive you are using. This kit comes with a USB Y cable:



    If one USB port does not supply enough power to the hard drive, you can connect another USB connector on the USB cable to the computer’s 2nd USB port (if available) to get some extra power. Two USB ports together normally will supply enough power to the hard drive. If your computer only has one USB port and it does not supply enough power to run a hard drive, you can use the optional 5V external AC power adapter or USB battery box listed below to power this kit.

    The complete package including:
  • USB2.0/1.1 enclosure for 2.5" IDE hard drive
