|  IT Hard Drive Readers/Enclosures
Hey all,
I know there are PLENTY of USB Hard drive enclosures out there, for SATA, IDE, etc. However, I don't need a home version of this tool, I need the Professional version of this thing. I need a tool that will allow me to connect up SATA, IDE, and the laptop versions of both is possible to a USB connection.
Of course with the home versions of these things, the enclosures and connectors are not made for constant opening and closings, they are just made to stick a HDD in there and leave it alone. I have HDD's all the time that I need to pull data off of via USB that I don't want to mess around with putting in another system.
So any IT Pro's out there with recommendations? Please?

The obvious choice, (if I read you right), is a USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Adapter with Power Adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812186036
There are several brands, but they all do the same thing an external enclosure does, without the enclosure part
I use these ALL the time and they are insanely convenient

JPMiller,
Yes that is exactly what I want, maybe I can even find one with a power adapter ... Any brand recommendation?
