Hi,

Would like to find out if Sim Lim sells hard disk enclosure?

I've got a laptop which the motherboard spoil lioa. Unable to boot into the bios. But the harddisk is still working. So want to make it into an external hard disk.

Does anyone knows which shops sells the hard disk enclosure? Only enclosure.

A lot shops sell 2.5" HDD enclosures, just depends on what brand or function you need... Century, ICY DOCK they all have IDE+SATA external enclosure products

No brand USB2.0 can be as low as $10. Whether can last or not is another thing? Best to get an aluminum casing for heat dissipation.

Must take out the hard disk from your notebook to confirm because I did remeber there was a time when HP notebook their hard disk connector is proprietary type - not ide or sata type.

Is the Astone external enclosure selling at Challenger using USB 3.0 Micro B connector instead of USB 3.0 Type A?
