I am unsure if this will work. Would 500 GB SATA drives use a different standard the the 160 GB drive I used that would not be compatible with these enclosures, or should they still work?
A 160 GB sata drive pulls the same power as a 500 GB sata drive.
It will work just fine.
As someone who has recovered a lot of data in the past few years, I figure about 80 per cent of my customers bring 2.5 inch external drives in for data recovery. 2.5 inch external drives are the least safe form of mass storage, in my experience.
I lost a "z". Anyone seen it around here?
