do i need an enclosure for my SATA HDD, or will a cable adapter be enough?
i recently got a few old HDDs from an old work place of mine. In order to turn them into an external HDD do i need an enclosure and if so what is the purpose of such an enclosure? i will provide more info if anyone needs it.
All you need is the adapter.
Although an enclosure is a good idea, because it protects the circuitry of the HD.
In my experience, an enclosure which includes the adapter costs only a few dollars more than the adapter alone.
PS. make sure you get the correct adapter for your hard drives (SATA or IDE).
