hey,
I need some extra storage space on my laptop and I want to put the following hard drive which my friend will let me use:
seagate 400gb serial ata
(newegg link)
into an enclosure to use on my laptop.
Is there anything I need to think about besides getting an enclosure that is internal interface for SATA? I was thinking about getting this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?item=N82E16817424001
I have never done anything like this in the past and have no experience with different hard drives. Any help will be appreciated.
thanks,
nab
edit: do i need some kind of special slot on my laptop for it to work?
