  • 2.5" SATA hard drive enclosure with USB2 & Firewire

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if anyone knows of any computer hardware sellers that have hard disk enclosures for 2.5" SATA drives that has both USB2 and FireWire connections? I've looked around local stores, to no avail. So I'm expanding my search to be worldwide.
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Diego

    Hey Diego,
    I've bought all my enclosures (5) through ebay. I find all the best option here for a good price. Here are some possibilities

  • Recommended SCSI to SATA converter for older external hard drive enclosure?

    I have a SCI external hard drive enclosure that I would like to be able to use a with a SATA drive. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive, reliable SCSI to SATA bridge board?

    Those are both good points. It's a really nice enclosure (its a red FW400 drive that instead of being a rectangular box, it has this funky wave shape). I could just use the drive with an existing SCSI drive and make it for something that doesn't need high r/w speeds like documents.

  • SATA to Firewire hard drive enclosure recommendations?

    I just picked up my new MacBook Pro last week and am planning to sell my Dual 1.8 Powermac and white MacBook soon.
    I have a 250GB 3.5" SATA drive in the PowerMac that I want to keep and put in an external enclosure for use with my MacBook Pro.
    Any recommendations on SATA to Firewire 3.5" external hard drive enclosures? Of course I'd prefer it be as small as possible.
    Thanks

    I like this one.

  • Why won't the SATA HDD fit into a hard drive enclosure?

    So, I need to send my early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" to be repaired due to a power malfunction; the computer won't even recognize that the battery is there. Since Apple has no way of guarenteeing that they won't wipe my hard drive, I purchased a Sabrent 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure so I can manually take out my hard drive and back it up on another computer (my Apple Care representative told me that this will not void the warranty). When I took my hard drive out, however, it wouldn't fit into the enclosure because there are pegs on the side of the drive that prevent it from properly sliding into the enclosure.
    I'm thinking about just plugging in the bottom part (the USB connection to the computer) to the hard drive without putting it into the actual enclosure. The enclosure is just a tin case that will house the hard drive, so I can't see why just plugging the USB connection into the drive wouldn't work. But, I'm no computer expert so I'm not sure if this will fly. Will this pose any sort of risk to the hard drive? Does the hard drive absolutely need to be housed in the tin enclosure? Or can I just transfer all my data with the hard drive outside of the enclosure without any problems?
    I'm pretty desparate, so any input would help. Thanks!

    Those pegs are actually mounting screws & come off. You need a Torx T6 to remove them.

  • Mid-2009 MacBook Pro sees internal SATA hard drive, but will not boot from or format

    I inherited a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz model) with a very strange issue.
    It first presented itself as not being able to boot from the internal SATA hard drive that came with the computer. Nothing I tried could get it to boot, so I assumed the file system was corrupted beyond repair and booted from a CD to try to format the drive. Disk Utility on the CD would not format the drive, giving me strange error messages like "Unable to write to the last block of the device".
    At this point I figured the drive itself must be toast, so I pulled it out and put another known-good SATA hard drive in, booted from CD, and attempted to format. Again, same error messages and an unsuccesful format.
    So I had the bright idea of formatting one of the drives in an external enclosure and then putting it in the MBP to see if OS X would even install. No dice. Get a cryptic error message before installation even begins.
    So I installed OS X on the drive in the external enclosure and put it in the MBP, and it attempts to boot, but never goes anywhere.
    So to sum up, the symptoms I'm seeing:
    MacBook Pro CAN see internal SATA hard drives.
    MacBook Pro WILL NOT boot from any internal SATA hard drive and cannot format or install OS X to any internal SATA hard drive.
    MacBook Pro WILL boot from any CD or external device and seems to work properly otherwise.
    At this point I'm thinking it's one of two things: the hard drive ribbon cable or the SATA controller on the logic board.
    Since the MacBook Pro seems to work completely fine other than this one issue, and will boot properly from both external devices and the CD (also a SATA device), I'm thinking and hoping that it's just the hard drive ribbon cable. From my searches online, I've heard that this batch of MacBook Pros is known to have issues with the hard drive ribbon cable, but it seems in most cases this manifests itself by the Mac not being able to see a drive at all.
    I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting to get to this point, but right now I'm just looking for any feedback at all. Specifically I'd love to know a way I can easily test to see whether it's the logic board or the cable.

    UPDATE: An interesting development!
    I just tried a third known-good SATA hard drive, one which I believe supports SATA I only (but I'm not sure), and unlike the other drives that the Mac sees but cannot properly interact with, the Mac can't even see this one when I put it inside.
    Frustrating as this may be, I believe I'm actually getting closer to a solution since my symptoms now appear to be closely aligned with people having SATA ribbon cable issues.
    Onward!

  • MacBook hard drive and SATA hard drive

    Can I use the Hitachi’s Travelstar 5K160 HTS541616J9SA00 2.5-inch SATA hard drive to, instead of putting their drive in the enclosure (it doesn’t come pre-installed), put my MAC Book (black model) hard drive in? I want to transfer the data from this hard drive into another MAC Book. My original computer had a problem with the board but I have my hard drive with data intact. I want to buy this SATA but am not sure if this would work, if I can put in the MacBook hard drive as if it was the SATA one... Help, anyone? Thanks!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi there,
    A number of people on NewEgg's product page for that drive say it's great for a MacBook, so I'd assume it's ok.
    You can put your old MacBook hard drive into any external USB2.0 enclosure and retrieve the data.
    Regards!

  • What type of hard drive enclosure do I need for my old hard drive?

    What type of hard drive enclosure do I need for the hard drive from my old macbook pro?  The graphics card doesn't work on the old laptop and there were some files that were not on my last backup that I transferred to the new macbook pro.

    Check eBay. Any 2.5" USB SATA HDD enclosure.

  • I am replacing my existing SATA hard drive to a Solid State hard drive and want to image the drive, is this possible?

    I am replacing my existing 320 GB SATA hard drive that clicks and makes weird noises to a Solid State hard drive and want to image the drive, is this possible?  I then want to replace the DVD with a secondary large drive for storage.
    So I am looking for any "gotchas" that I may be unaware of.
    Thanks!

    Put the Old drive in an external notebook drive enclosure. Install the SSD in your computer. Boot from your Old drive's Recovery HD:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the New SSD. Source means the external Old hard drive.
    Set the new Startup Disk to the SSD and restart the computer.
    This process clones both your old OS X volume and the Recovery HD volume to the SSD. You can use a similar process to clone the SSD to the new hard drive you will install.

  • Need help finding correct external hard drive enclosure for a T61 hard drive

    Hi, recently my lenovo T61's video card fizzled out right after the warranty expired. I have information on the laptop's hard drive that i need to get off of it. I have a hard drive enclosure for my old hp laptop's hard drive but the two drive have different connectors. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to find a lenovo T61 hard drive compatible external hard drive enclosure.
    The hard drive is a 100 GB 7200 RPM drive
    Model: HTS722010K9SA00
    HDD: 7K200-100
    LENOVO P/N: 42T1056
    HITACHI P/N: 0A53257
    MLC: DA2141

    what model is your HP laptop? also how old is it?
    Prior to SATA connector there is the PATA connector.

  • What hard drive enclosure to purchase for HP Pavilion dv6000?

    I am trying to find a hard drive case/enclosure for my 2005 HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop.  I want to retrieve all of the data from my hard drive because I can no longer charge the laptop.  I have tried two different types of hard drive enclosure, but neither worked.  Can you tell me the proper model to order?

    Hi:
    One of them will work.
    You need to remove the hard drive connector interface that connects the hard drive to the motherboard.
    This thing pulls off the drive. You should be using a SATA to usb notebook hard drive enclosure.

  • Hard drive enclosure

    Hi,
    I bought a Eaglebit- Writebox external hard drive enclosure to house my old iBook G3 40 GB hard drive. I'm fairly confident I assembled it properly, but I can't see to get my MacBook (original black model) to recognize it. It doesn't show up in Disk Utility, system profiler, or anywhere else. It is a IDE/SATA to USB enclosure. There is no power source other than the USB connection. When I switch the device on, it doesn't make any noise, so I'm not even sure if it is running?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The two USBs on the cord are to power the drive on certain computers that can't provide enough power on USB to spin the drive properly.
    Can you provide a link to the enclosure you bought? (Looks like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817193033)
    Despite it saying that it is compatible with Mac OS X, many people say it isn't in the reviews. You may be out of luck.
    What are you trying to do? Do you have another computer? Do you have Leopard on another computer to use with Time Machine? If that's the case, I'd recommend you just clone the G3 HDD to a new external enclosure/HDD that you would buy if you are trying to transfer information.

  • Looking to Buy a Hard Drive Enclosure - Opinions?

    I'm looking to buy a hard drive enclosure to attach to my linux box, and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the AEN-U35SE from Airlink (see http://www.airlink101.com/products/aenu35se.php ). It's fairly cheap at my local Fry's, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with it, both with linux compatibility and cooling (they say it's fanless, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad). This would be attached to a server as bulk storage and wouldn't be under high usage, but I'm not wanting to doom my hard drive to certain death.
    I can't find any reviews of it at all online, so I guess it must be at least fairly new. It's not carried by Tigerdirect or NewEgg, so I can't find anything there.
    EDIT:
    Gah, this product is apparantly discontinued, which is probably why NewEgg and TigerDirect didn't have it. Anything anyone can recommend? I only need one drive, and fanless is good as long as the drive doesn't overheat.

    Shame on them, that or just plain cheap crappy chips they used to make it
    On the issue of enclosures .... nothing I can recommend because so far I'm not happy with any I bought. On the compatibility side they are all ok but after a good period of time (1year or 1.5years) the the hd sometimes starts acting strange. It stops and restarts almost immediately, a problem that doesn't happen when I plug it inside my desktop pc. In one of the external enclosures I have narrowed the problem to the power supply.
    I could plug a Y power cable and monitor the voltages with a multimeter, the 5V rail would be 4.5V when the disk acted strange but for some reason sometimes the rail was close to the nominal 5V (4.9V~5.1V) and everything would work well.
    Because of this I have started to believe that the power supplies that have the 12V and 5V output are a big no no, there are several reasons for me not to like it specially because all of the 2 I have behave the same way >_<.
    If possible I would get an enclosure that receives only 12V from the outside and then generates the 5V internally but I believe that is hard to find.
    The two enclosures I have have are:
    http://en.vipower.com/products01_01.php?ID=154  (this one as a bit expensive usb2 to ide)

  • External Hard Drive Enclosure won't mount

    Hi
    I have a Western Digital Caviar WD3200JD 1TB SATA hard drive inside an external startech enclosure
    http://www.startech.com/item-download/SAT3510U2B-35in-USB-to-SATA-External-Hard- Drive-Enclosure-with-One-Button-Backup.aspx
    It won't mount on my mac, it won't recognise it in disk utility either
    I mounts fine on a PC running Vista. I have formatted it as NTFS but it will still not shoe on my mac
    Anything else I can try?
    Thanks!

    my 12 inch powerbook laptop body was no good, but the hard drive was. I had a powermac g4 tower with a bad harddrive. After researching, I found this site and I mounted the laptop harddrive into the desktop and boom! my old laptop drive booted up on the desktop powermac. here is the link. a 3 yr old can install this it is way too easy, plus it cost 99 Cents. way cheaper than buying an enclosure.

  • Hard drive enclosures?

    I have a dilema id like help with!
    I have a brand new 500gb Scorpio Black 2.5" sata hard drive!
    I alos have a 500gb Seagate sata 3" hard drive, I also have an external fan assisted case for this however I cannot get anything to recognise this drive, my win laptop can see and identify the drive but cannot do anything with it! (dont know why, been using PCs for years and have run out of ideas).
    so my question is this, if i use the 2.5" as an external, id need to puchase an enclosure from somewhere (which i know can be obtained for very little money), however will this definately work and id like to format so it would work with windows as well so i think that means formatting to ExFat?
    ive seen a LaCie 3.5" USB2 enclosure for sale on a well know bay of auctions and wonder if that would work with my 3.5"drive or would i be better off buying an enclosure for the 2.5" and try to get USB3?
    id intend to use these on windows 7 and my new imac 27" with Mavericks.
    any advice would be appreciated!
    Lee.

    If you plan to boot your Mac from this external HD it will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using an GUID partition table. If you will have nothing on the drive but data you can use ExFAT, but you will not have all the features of OS X available on the drive. As to the enclosure, not all external enclosures are created equal and not all of them "play nice" with the Macintosh and some will not play at all. If at all possible you want an enclosure that uses the Oxford bridge chip for maximum compatibility with both the Mac and PC platforms. Other World Computing has a variety of different enclosures that use the Oxford chip set and just about any interface you can think of. FWIW I have no connection with OWC other than that of being a satisfied customer.
