**PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM BASICALLY A COMPUTER DUMBA$$ WHEN IT COMES TO THESE TYPES OF THINGS SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME**
I am going to make my own external hard drive for my laptop, and I was wondering if you could help me out.
I am going to use either a 160 or 200gig Seagate Barracuda hard drive.
200gig Seagate Barracuda specs
160gig Seagate Barracuda specs
I am going to use one of these two enclosures:
enclosure 1
enclosure 2
My concern: Both of the enclosures that I have chosen say that they fit any 3.5" mounting hard drive. My question is: will the seagate barracuda that I have selected fit into either of the enclosures? (please refer to the specs I provided above)
Is there anything I'm missing here?
Basically as far as I know, all I have to do to put one of these together is to connect the hard drive to the wires/cables inside the enclosure, close it up, and install the drivers if necessary (I am using XP pro)...correct?
THANKS
Best Regards,
Dan
