Enclosures seem to be very popular these days, and especially the type that fit 2.5” hard drives. With the switch to SATA notebook drives, I'm sure there are plenty of older IDE style drives floating around that can be used to add more storage to your system or to take things with you. Of course you'll need something to put that hard drive in, not only to make it work, but also for protection. Today for review I have the Integral 2.5” IDE hard drive USB enclosure from Akasa, so read on to check it out...
