External backup drive question. by meagain
I replaced my 3 year old Maxtor 80GB with a Seagate 120GB. More than enough space for my needs. My question: Is there an enclosure available where I can make the Maxtor a USB 2 external drive? I've read of such a thing a while back but I'll be damned if I can find one now. Thanks Rick
