I pulled a serial ATA 200 gb hard drive from my PMg5 and need to put it in an external case. Does anyone have a inexpensive solution or do you know if the attached would work.
Thanks

maybe i'm missing it, but how do you connect that puppy to your computer? e.g. firewire, usb, etc...

From what your clipping shows, that will not work, unless you have a multi-bay enclosure or server type slot.

You need a full enclosure not a sled.

you need something like this (http://www.directron.com/tl35cs.html)

and this really should be in the Buying Tips section.
