So
you bought a whole bunch of 250GB 3.5-inch hard drives from your
favorite orange-and-green online retailer. "This will be splendid!" you
feverishly exclaimed, in that initial rush of enthusiasm. "I'll simply
pry open my PC case and install them all myself! How difficult could it
be? Dear me, what a jubilant day! "
But that was before you saw
how dusty and unhygienic it is inside your case. That was before you
dropped and lost that one tiny little screw that holds your whole
computer together. That was before you got the seventh straight UNABLE
TO BOOT DEVICE message. Turns out this whole business of installing raw
hard drives is rather taxing and unpleasant. What now?
Now you
buy as many of these 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 External Enclosures as
your pocketbook (and our rules) will allow. Pop a raw drive into it,
plug the included USB cable into the appropriate port on
your computer, and presto! Additional storage without muss, fuss, or
fits of rage. Data-transfer rates top out at a scorching 400Mbps. And
since it's totally portable and hot-swappable, you can tote it to a
pal's crib for a file-sharing party away from the prying electronic
eyes of the entertainment industry's lawyers. Not that we advocate that
kind of thing, you thief.
