How to Convert a Internal PATA IDE (Desktop) 3.5″ Hard disk to an External USB Hard Disk ?? (http://www.chotocheeta.com/2007/10/21/convert-an-internal-pata-ide-desktop-35-hard-disk-to-external-usb-hard-disk/)

[Choto Cheeta]

^^ sirji wats the cost ?

Did you read the URL ?? as I have mentioned there

as the 3.5" HDD casing / enclosure will cost you between Rs. 400/- to 1200/- depending on the brand and place from where you are buying :)

local Intex or such in Kolkata i buy at around Rs. 500/- or 600/- they dont look pretty :p but does the job fine :)

[iMav]

Did you read the URL ?? no ...isiliye toh pucha :D

but don't we have any cheaper solution.I mean 400-1200 is too much.Don't we have any simple IDE\sata to USB connector within Rs.100-150?

Let me know if u find any :lol: as the price goes high because of the external power adapter :lol:

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^lol I was asking you.I have 4 sata ports but just one slot in my cabinet for hdd so I thought i will get a sata to usb connector(el cheapo one).

Anyways I think you're right I needs power supply too which makes the costs too high.

[Choto Cheeta]

@Ravi :p

even the 2.5" Laptop HDD Casing are too Rs. 250/- or minimum of Rs. 200/- :lol: how did u expected a 3.5" to be Rs. 100/- :lol:


Edit: My misstake, :p Sorry :(

[The_Devil_Himself]

I agree with you....a simple sata to usb connector wont do as it needs power supply too which makes the costs high but I think Rs400 is not that high if they are reliable.
Thanks for the tut anyway.

[quantum]

i didnt know this was possible

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

yes u can do it...easy

[Orionz]
