A link to Microcenter web site where they have an adapter on sale for $15.99. Small, with power adapter, cables, CD and will connect IDE or SATA, 2.5" or 3.5" to USB. I use it and it sure beats my external enclosure for size and ease of use. (though my other enclosure is USB and 1394, but works intermittently.) The ad runs until 8/12/2012. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0285941 I didn't read all the posts because of the number of them. Someone else might have made similar a post.
