Looking for new HDD enclosure.

[beaker15]

I'm looking for a new 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure, I need it to fit a 9mm HDD and have USB 3.0 connection. I would just like to see if any one knew of any good enclosures for a decent price (like as high as $50)

why not get another external drive on top of that  for almost the same?

Well I just need an enclosure not another drive because I have multiple 2.5 inch drives just sitting around.

You could get an enclosure for $15:00 you sure you want to go all the way to $50:00 ?  For that sort of money you could get an external enclosure that allready had a drive in it.

They go for between 10-15$ on Amazon. Just get one from there with decent reviews. I would look for one with a removable cable.

If you want to spend more money, Zalman makes a 2.5" enclosure that has a cd emulator intgrated, so it acts like an external optical drive. You apparently can just put ISO's in a special folder on the drive and then you can boot from them. It's about 50$, but unless you want that feature, I'd go with a regular enclosure
