Enclosure for 2.5 drive...

[butaro]

Hi All, im having a bit of trouble finding and enclosure suitable for a drive i just purchased (it was pretty cheap and i guess this is the reason why)

Its a SATA drive.
The main concern is the height of the drive, its 12.5mm, most enclosures are meant for 9/9.5mm and i was wondering if anyone had the same problem before as me. I have seen quite a few enclosures but i don't really want to pay more than 50$ for one.

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

hellllllllllp!
I found one enclosure but its out of stock!
Would i have any luck just buying an enclosure for a 9.5mm drive and just leaving the case pretty much open?

There is one sold by OWC too, but it seems very expensive for the price (like US$99 for a plasticky thing).

SATA enclosures are ridiculously priced

Well, i can get it working but it just depends how nicely i want it.
There are sata to usb "cables" that you can buy around.
Which i dont really mind since the HD will be for backup/storage anyway but i dont really want to have a bare HD sitting around. (Which i have already done for years with no problems though ) I might just go with that if i have no luck this week seaching, maybe make some kind of contraption up, at least so i can use it and test if it works.
