We need some new hard drives and the internals are so much cheaper than the externals that I wonder how easy or hard and how expensive conversion is. Pye
Take your hard drive and drop it in any one of these enclosures. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=92&Submit=Property . If you are going to be leaving the external drives on all the time, I'd recommend that you get one that has a built-in cooling fan. It usually takes about 10 minutes to do the conversion. Here's a really nice one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145656 . There are cheaper ones and more expensive ones out there, but this one is great quality for the price.
On the Tiger Direct site website there are some cheap OEM drives. I am looking at a Maxtor 300G for &89.95 after a $45 rebate. Its interface is ULTRA ATA-133. How can I tell if that will work with my computer? I have one small SCSI internal drive, two internal IDE drives 120 G and 40 G and one external firewire 120G drive. My computer is a locally assembled 2.2G PIV with one G RAM. OEM drives like this are described as coming without cables, brackets or screws. Does the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145656 you descrime come with with enough stuff to install the drive? If my questions are too naive to address on a forum where most folks seem to know a lot more than I do would it help for me to post my address in the form "john at doe dot com?" Thanks for what you've already sent. Pye
that 300gig is the limit of the case but should work with no problem. it comes with cd, power adapter & usb cable.
