Just go and ask any shop at lowyat "Do you have any 2.5" sata HDD enclosure?"Is there such thing as a cable/converter which can connect an Internal SATA 2.5" Hard Disk to a USB port of a PC?

erm...i thought i posted edy...
this what i know...dont flame me if i'm wrong ya... WD nowadays using color coding to determined the HDD speed and usage...(manufactured on Nov 2008 onwards) now they got a total of 3 colors......Green, Blue and Black... i make it simple ya....Green for the power saving energy and Black for the high performance... so d new one is Blue...the Blue one is for normal usage...they just want to make the user life easier by using color coding.... so after this there will be a total of 3 colors for WD desktop HDD (IMHO)... this is what i learned.....if wrong pls correct me...thanks... |

So, that being said, the Caviar Blue is the normal WD HDD offered last time? Does this mean if i wanted to get a normal 7200RPM hdd, i should get the Caviar Blue? And i kinda heard that the Caviar Green is 5400RPM instead of 7200RPM.
