External HDD caddy.

[bushmins]

Im going to be putting a new 2.5" HDD into my laptop and will be using the old one as external storage.

Ive seen various ones at OcUK, just want a cheap one.

Does this one come with a lead to connect it to USB?

It mentions a Y-Type USB cable, whats that? Isnt the drive just connected via USB to USB?

The Y-Cable is for when plugging into say a laptop as one usb port doesnt provide enough power to run the device
