Hi all. I just sold my desktop, but I pulled my WD 120 GB HDD first. I
want to connect to it externally from my laptop for extra storage. What is
the best way to do this? Thanks.

Depends on what your laptop has available. If it has a firewire inteface,
just get a firewire to IDE enclosure, plug it in and go. If not, if it has
USB 2.0, then get a USB2.0 enclosure. If it only has USB1.1, then you can
do the same thing but it will be SLOW. You can also get a USB2.0/Firewire
interface for your laptop, and the appropriate enclosure.
