What hard drive enclosure should i get for this hard drive?
i've got a harddrive from my dead laptop that i'd like to use as an external, but i don't know what enclosure to get.
This is the hard drive
and i've attatched a picture of the connection.
i already bought one enclosure, but it had the wrong connector, so i really would rather not mess up again. : /
also, i know, crappy pic, sorry

Like Steveastrouk said you need a SATA case.
Something Like this
The case in your link is for an IDE case.

What you have is a SATA hard drive, and you are trying to put it into an IDE to USB case. You need a different case. Sorry.

Just go to your favorite computer parts and supplies retailer and get a 2.5-Inch USB 2.0 aluminum external SATA hard drive enclosure. There are lots of them on the market and many are under $20 U.S.

i already got THIS enclosure, which seemed to meet all of my requirements, but the connection is wrong, and my HDD won't plug in. i am trying to find a more specific reccomendation, because i have not had much luck.
