How to Make an External Hard Drive

How to Make an External Hard Drive

Do you want an external hard drive, but don’t want to break the bank on buying one.  Making your own external hard drive is a lot cheaper and easier than you think.  There are some items that you will need in order to accomplish your goal.  You can use an old laptop hard drive or desktop hard drive.  Below you will find some useful information.

What you need:

– 2.5″or 3.5″SATA Hard Drive

– a small Phillips screwdriver

– an external hard drive enclosure

HDE 2.5″SATA External Hard Disk Drive Enclosure

Rosewill Aluminum 3.5-inch USB 2.0 External Enclosure

When you get all of your parts together, then open up the case. You will then need to slide the hard drive into the enclosure making sure that it is firmly attached.  Once everything is connected and attached your hard drive will be ready for use.

Don’t hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email if you need assistance.
