I have an Emachine T1862 60gb hard drive. I want to buy an external enclosure to put this hard drive in to make it my back up. How do I know what size to buy?Are 2.5" for laptops? I see there are also 3 inch enclosures also. Which one would fit my desktop emachine hard drive?

Most internal hard disks for desktops at 3.5". As you get into the Small Form Factor desktops, the size may be smaller.

Guys are so fixated on size. As long as your hard drive works, does size really matter?
