Buy a SATA to USB3 enclosure and a 2.5" laptop drive separately. |

Usually this will be cheaper and give you better performance. Low |

quality drives are typically binned for USBHDD usage. This is changing |

with the speed increase of USB3, but seems to not have entirely gone |

away. |

They sell SATA to USB3 *converters* that do not fully enclose the |
12 |
drive. You can buy cases for the bare 2.5" HDDs if you want. You could |
13 |
also look at 3.5" drives for higher storage density, though 2.5" |
14 |
drives are catching up. |

Just use the first result on Amazon or Newegg, or the cheapest thing |
17 |
you can find at a physical store (a common brand is Startech). |
