Why would I want a USB 2 or FireWire Enclosure?
what are their importance ?
A USB 2 or FireWire Enclosure is a way to put a hard drive into a portable case so you can use it for backups, extra storage, etc.
I have my old hard drive in a FireWire enclosure and I put photos and stuff on it. I also have FireWire enclosure with a drive that works with my laptop. I use it for backups — so if my laptop drive fails, I just swap drives and keep going.

Um… unless I misunderstood the question. If you mean why would you want to add USB or FireWire *capability* to your computer… it’s so you can connect to all kinds of external devices — including hard drives but also cameras and stuff.
Take two!
