If you bought a new computer because your old one was slow or just plain outdated, you can still use that old hard drive (provided that the reason for buying a new computer wasn’t because of your old hard drive).

Even if your new computer is a laptop, you can turn your old hard drive into an external usb hard drive now by simply purchasing a hard drive enclosure kit for less than $20, and, get FREE SHIPPING!

Why re-use your old hard drive?

You can turn that old hard drive into an external hard drive that can be used as a backup. Trust me, I meet lots of customers with regrets of not having a backup of their favorite photos, music, etc.

Note: There are different types of hard drive enclosures for different types of hard drives, so make sure you get the correct enclosure for yours. If you need help identifying the type of hard drive you have, ask a techie friend or check out this tutorial: Hard drive enclosure tutorial
