3.5" USB 2 Desktop Enclosure
The SD Desktop Enclosure is a slim hard disk drive enclosure with a USB2.0 (and USB1.1) interface that enables you to create your own external hard drive solution by adding a 3.5” PATA (IDE) hard drive. An enclosure is an excellent way of making use of an existing hard drive, or creating an inexpensive external hard drive unit.
Backup, copy, store data
Once you have installed a hard drive inside the external case, the drive can then be used for any number of purposes, from backing up your computer, to storing video, pictures and music.
Simple assembly
Putting a hard drive inside the enclosure is straightforward and can be accomplished by anyone. You don’t have to know anything about computers, or about disk drives. Once the unit is assembled, it can be use just like a standard USB Hard Drive.
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.
