Turn any standard 2.5″ internal SATA drive into an external drive with the Silicone USB SATA 2.5″ Drive Enclosure from ThinkGeek.  No tools are needed – simply pull the enclosure over the hard drive.  The silicone enclosure covers the drive but still allows ventilation to prevent overheating.  The enclosure uses a MA6116 chipset and SATA L-type internal data and power connections and supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.  It has a built-in USB cable and is compatible with Windows and Mac computers.  It’s 4.3″X2.9″X0.5″ and weighs 1.4 ounces.  It’s $9.99 from ThinkGeek.
