I'm think of buying this an turning it into an external hard drive for my laptop. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140 Do you think i will work? I think my laptop is currently using an ide harddrive, so will there be any problems if i use this connected through a usb or firewire to my laptop?

since the hard drive is sata, do i need to buy an external enclosure that has an ide or sata internal interface?

This will not serve your purpose as you can see that this is an internal Hard Drive and it is for either SATA connection you would have to search for the Hard drive that has a usb or firewire connection.

Your exterior annoying force might desire to tutor as an icon on your show. in simple terms drag and drop each and every thing you like on that force. in case you prefer to clean area on your device's annoying force then do not forget approximately to delete even though you progression onto the Lacie as quickly as you have checked that it has transferred efficiently. in case you prefer to start putting stuff quickly on the Lacie then in simple terms specify it through fact the trip spot whenever you keep some thing. you have a great quantity of potential because it stands and that i'm uncertain why you prefer to bypass stuff onto the Lacie, until it rather is for motives of backup, it is obviously a stable thought. it rather is a shame you at the instant are not on a Mac, as you may then have, on Leopard, the excellent Time device facility which will mean in no way dropping something ever returned. in case you do not think of you're plenty stable at desktops make your next one a Mac - they are less difficult, smarter, and cooler than a notebook, and much much less complicated to apply. Vista is the place Mac became approximately ten years in the past.

Why not just buy an already made USB drive. I have a 160 G Seagate one and it does everything I need.
