Porch Enclosure

Is it an alternative to an external hard drive? Because I need more space to work with on my Toshiba Laptop. And what exactly does an external enclosure do?

An external enclosure is to store a hard drive that connects to the outside of the laptop.

An enclosure first of all looks good, protects from shock and offers a little protection from other types of damage like accidental watter spills.

I prefer USB Thumb drives, being a good alternative for those every day things like storing music.

Current, voltage, associated wth?

If it is from anywhere outside America then the Red is for Active (power) Pretty much every other country the three phase’s are red, white and blue, (unless it is flex-lead) and earth is always Green and yellow. In a single phase application red is hard active, white is switched, and black is neutral. However sometimes in industrial applications purple and pink are used, sometimes for the extra low voltage AC or DC Controls, This is pretty common for alot of pannels from asia.

If it is a motor terminal box (espechally a 3 phase) the colours are differnet again for the start and finish of the field windings.

Hope that was relevent and made sence.

I am a graohic art student and i am looking to put Adobe illustrator and photoshop on this computer would this be a good computer for this??

Yes, it’s a good computer, but it is an older, PowerPC-based model, so you won’t be able to run applications that are Intel binaries, and you’re limited to Mac OS X 10.5.8 as the last version of the OS you can install. As more developers leave the PowerPC architecture behind, more and more applications will require an Intel-based Mac to offer more features, even if they are features you don’t want or care about.

But if you stick to applications that work on PowerPC chips and Mac OS X 10.5.8 or lower, it should do well for you. Just be careful about upgrade any Adobe applications, since the newer versions take even more time to install and have ridiculous system requirements and dependencies. Buy the Adobe CS2 versions or the CS2 Suite if possible; skip the CS4 crap.

In a plastic chinese container. It has a rock, wet green leaves and some food. But the container is tiny!
I told him that if he wont get a proper enclosure for it he should let it go, but he wont let it go and he believes that the frog has a perfect enclousure when clearly it doesn’t.
We had a fight about it, so, should I just stop pestering him?

Wow! Like the kind soup comes in…that’s way too small. I agree with the other answers. Maybe the guy is just cheap. Go and buy a proper enclosure and he might give in and use it. Poor little frog.

I took out the hard drive from my old apple computer. it is an maxtor Model # 5T060H6 60GB heard drive. I would like to use it as a external hard drive. I think this model is a Ultra-ATA. What type of external enclosure or dock or any way to access the Hard drive would you recommend.

I do not want to spend too much money because i already have a large external hard drive.

thank you

I believe the cheapest way would be to get a USB to IDE adapter and power supply.

my 1tb iOmega Prestige External HDD can’t be detected by my PC..
I tried taking it off from its enclosure then use a USB-SATA cable but it still persists…
Recovery fees are costly and
i got like a 800+gb’s of important data in there.
I recalled that i have scanned it & left it on for about 5hrs.,3 infections were found so i took action & deleted it.After a day i tried but its not accessible anymore.
Can it be just some electronic malfunction due to prolonged use? coz’ as far as i’m concerned it’s still running smoothly & it doesn’t produce no weird sound either.

What should i do?
Pls.help

install the drivers needed to run it
