so i have an old HDD, and want to use it on my main PC as an external, do i just need a cable or something? or is it more complicated than that? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Wrong forum." - lazyV))[/highlight]
You can just buy a HDD enclosure, yeah.
We've done it with an HD we thought was fried but wasn't but we had already replaced and we use it externally. Here's a guide that came up with a quick google. [url]http://lifehacker.com/software/hard-drives/alpha-geek-turn-an-old-hard-drive-into-an-external-drive-253847.php[/url]
You're looking for a HDD caddy
