SSD Drive Enclosure (SATA to USB)?

[NJRonbo]

Figured I would find a secure external drive to put all my iTunes music on

I have 160GB of data

Amazon has this drive on sale today. Excellent price for a 256MB SSD

Is this the enclosure I would need to convert it to USB?

Willing to hear other suggestions

Yup , that enclosure will work . Just as an aside , if you've got a MicroCenter nearby , they've had Crucial 256 g. SSD's at that price for a few weeks . Don't remember if it's the same model # though .

You'll get much better performance out of an external SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure that's optimised for SSD speeds. This enclosure is a much better option:
