USB housing for SATAII drives?
Ive got my eye on a cheap 1.5Tb internal sata2 hard-drive drive for £77 on eBuyer... is there such a thing as housing I could buy to install it into so I can use it on a USB cable for my TV's media player..? and external power?

thanks

I've used both Thermaltake and Vantec enclosures and been happy with them. Personally, all my experiences with Rosewill products (including stuff customers have brought in) have been really poor. But, I don't have any experience with their enclosures.

I have and their enclosures are the same level of quality as the rest of their stuff ie pretty poor. One enclosure I bought lasted all of a week before the A/C pw adapter failed. It cost just about as much to ship it back as to buy another brand so I just tossed it out.

Things in the industry being what they are, I guess there's something to be said for consistency.
