Title: Anyone know where to buy USM modules (just the plastic enclosure)
Post by: vampire on January 01, 2013, 04:53:02 PM
It's just an enclosure for 2.5 inch harddrives, just really a piece of plastic.

Can't find anywhere.

I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812411004 but I don't need the USB part now, just the enclosure for my 2.5 drives.

Man, I searched and searched and couldn't come up with anything except other modules.

Apparently the drive plug is just a longer version of SATA+power to fit through the thickness of the case. You can gut $3 amazon USB 2.0 cases, or buy a rubber case like this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Skin-Case-2-5-SATA-IDE-HDD-Hard-Disk-Drive-/280656705033?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item4158717609) and cut a connector hole through it so the connector will appear to sit flush while making a bare drive less likely to short out on something.

I'd like to get this type of case also.  Can anyone recommend a place to buy one now (the above link no longer seems to work)?
