Basically Iam looking to make an IDE (is that the big thick ribbon type?) put into an enclosure.
Later one I'll probally buy a 2nd hard-drive, obviously with newer tech to put into a second enclosure.
Later on still, replace the IDE one to match 2nd.
This is basically so I can have back up of music photos etc, and one for uni work- will be heavily computer based starting in september.
Now just wondering if any-one can recomend anything for this? And also thinking I should just to get two boxes of that hold both IDE/SATA drives so they match when sitting on my shelf.
Or would I just be as cheap to buy one all-ready in enclosures etc? Thinking I could get two 2.5inch ones so they are nice and small....obv would mean totally replacing the IDE one
so yeah, any thoughts on this subject?

). If you are after an IDE enclosure, there are a lot out there, I've got an excellent sata one but its unbranded really (it says 2kinfo on it, but ive seen the same enclosure with different brands printed on it), I did have an Akasa one previously but I wasnt impressed with the build quality, the IDE ribbon cable inside it had to be squashed up a little too much for my liking and the control board within it was a bit temperamental. You may need to just google around a bit and find a brand that does an ide and a sata version of the same physical design, I cant post a link to my one im afraid as its from a competitor.
