Yes, make sure you get the right enclosure for it though. If your harddrive is SATA, you will need a SATA enclosure (I have not seen any of these at Best Buy though). If you have a IDE hard drive, then you need the IDE enclosure. All external hard drives are is a covered hard drive with a USB cord attached to it. I think it would be cheaper for you to buy a external enclosure, but being able to put in other drives in the future would a nice.
