Cheaper to buy enclosure and internal hdd?

[yexusbeliever1]

Why is it cheaper to buy the enclosure and an internal hdd to make external hdd instead of buying a regular external hdd???

 

[joxley1990]

Because the manufacturers have to put it together, test it, etc etc..

make it look cool... with sweet lights so people are like DaAaAaAaANNGG!

Lol yeah, but think about it, inside the enclosure, put a power Y-splitter in it, and you can put neons in yours, depending on them being small enough, and that would look sweet, because the cathode ones are sweeet

So how do you assemble an internal hdd? Is it that simple?

 

[yexusbeliever1]

someone who knows, please answer my question? How easy it is to assemble an internal HDD with using an external HDD and a enclosure?

u just put the hard drive in the enclosure and screw it together......

Thanks. I will probably look into doing that then. However is it better for an internal HDD to become external using USB 2.0? I mean will that be making any difference in its speed?

USB 2.0 can transfer at speeds of up to 480 Mbits / sec.
As for USB 1.1, it can transfer at speeds of up to 12 Mbits / sec.
