Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not an SATA. I'll pick up another
enclosure. The last one I bought isn't really an enclosure, it's just
a dock. It's called EZ- Dock, and it's made by a company called
Kingwin. The drive plugs into a slot and stands up vertically. With no
enclosure it seems to run quite cool. I think the dock sells for
around twenty bucks.

My oldest external drive failed. It's close to 10 years old and is

It's a 3.5 SATA drive in an enclosure. I'm wondering if I can use
that enclosure for any SATA 3.5 drive. I'm going to replace it
with a 1.5 terabyte Seagate 7200 rpm 3.5 SATA. Are all enclosures
created equal?
BTW, amazon currently has that Seagate drive for $114 with free
shipping.
Hi Paul,
As others have suggested you may run into problems, you might be best
off just buying a new integrated external drive. Often they can be
picked up for the same price or less than a bare drive less the
hassles.
Cheers,
