Where can I find a replacement hard drive enclosure for my external hard drive?
December 29, 2009 - 2:26 pm
The specs on the hard drive:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.1
320G
Ultra ATA
I don’t know anything more about it. I need the replacement enclosure as well as all necessary cables.
You can find these at major computer hardware sites like NewEgg.Com, ZipZoomFly.com, TigerDirect, CompUsa or even Amazon.
What you need to know is that the enclosure must support 3.5" drives (your format) and IDE (also known as PATA NOT SATA). These kits usually have both the power connection 4-pin molex and
IDE connection ribbon cable).
Good luck
P.S. For example a random search turns up 38 matching items on Newegg.

Any half-decent retailer will have enclosures that will house your drive. Try on-line or failing that PC World.

You didn’t specify what size your disk is, so I’ll give you a generic link. Make sure you pick the right size (laptop drives are 2.5", desktops are usually 3.5")
Newegg.com is the premeire supplier of computer components, and have many such enclosures available. They’re also one of the few internet retailers with excellent customer service.
