2.5" External Transparent Case IDE HDD's
The Stardom i201 hard drive enclosure is a funky way of assembling your own external USB2.0 hard drive. The transparent hard drive case lets you see the internal IDE hard drive, offering a nice alternative to the standard silver hard disk caddies. The enclosure, once assembled, does not need mains power and works on Windows and Mac PC's.
The hard drive enclosure has a Power/status LED so that you can see that your disk drive has enough power and when its working. It dissipates heat via an aluminium heat sink. The mobile hard drive case is very easy to assemble, and in common with all Stardom products, very good quality.
The 2.5" hard disk enclosure is supplied with a carry bag for transporting the drive around with you. If you have a hard drive which is a SATA hard drive, then you need to buy a SATA hard drive case. We have these for sale, under enclosures and cases. Look out for a 2.5" SATA hard drive enclosure.

And finally, please read this!
Before you buy your hard drive enclosure, please check the following:
Is your hard drive a SATA hard drive, or IDE? IDE is also referred to as ATA or PATA. You can find this out by enterning the part number of your hard drive into a search engine. Look at the specifications of the hard drive.
The next thing you need to check is the physical size. Again, in the technical specifications, it will tell you if the drive is a 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive. We refer to 2.5" hard drives as 'Mobile' and the 3.5" hard drives as 'Desktop'. Sometimes we refer to both, for expample a Mobile 2.5" hard drive case. 3.5" hard drive do in fact measure just short of 4 inches (a weird quirk!)
If you are still unsure of the interface or size, please contact us. Send us an email with the model number of the hard drive. We would prefer if you contact us before ordering the wrong product, as it is much easier to supply you the right product the first time! And we're more than happy to help. Thank you.
