549082 2007-05-11 07:59:00 Can anyone suggest where I can purchase one of those USB 2 to IDE 2.5” & 3.5” connection cables plus power supply in NZ of AUS?

I can find plenty on E-Bay ex Hong Kong, but I figured they should be available in Aus or NZ as well.

Can’t seem to find on Dick Smiths Site in Aus or NZ

If it is, just get an external case.

549084 2007-05-11 08:19:00 You can buy the empty cases and cables by themselves or with hard-drives already in them.

549086 2007-05-11 10:32:00 That's the animal Snoopy, I'm on to it. :thumbs:

Just for a temporary means of hooking up another HDD to my laptop Speedy.

Handy for swapping files when all you have is a Laptop and a HDD.

Cheers All. :thumbs:

I'm would think DSE would have stocked them but no doubt if they did they would be about $100 there.......;)

549091 2007-05-12 19:15:00 I use one all the time In my case when clients have infected HD's

Plug it into the USB port and then scan for Viruses/Malware/spyware using my computer .

Very much easier to clean because their system is not running
