775015 2009-05-18 21:55:00 Hi guys,

I have an usb hdd caddy for my old laptops hard drive i was using it through usb and was working fine so far... Last night i reckon i burned it and not working anymore.
I have this hard drive: www.getpartsonline.com

now i `m trying to find a new caddy for it but all i found is SATA but mine is ATA. Do you reckon SATA def. not works with ATA? and also can you suggest any shop that i can look at? I`ve looked at trademe but nothing...

Cheers...

Edit: Also when the caddy was burned a smoke came out, do you think Hard Drive is ok or it might damage it as well?

You will need an IDE case(2.5")

Or similar should do. I haven't used the NuSlim brand before so cannot comment specifically.

775019 2009-05-18 22:56:00 The Nuslim one or that trademe one should work fine.

They are not of high quality though(what you pay is what you get)
