HDD enclosures

I've just bought a new laptop and would like to my sata drive out of my desktop as extra storage for it, any reccomendations for an enclosure to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for that

was looking at those, just wasn't too sure if it was the right for what I was after. Whats the speed of it like when its plugged into the laptop?

Got one of these myself. Drifted towards this as I've had a lot of corrupting problems with Icy Box's in the past.

Currently using it with my Spinpoint, feels as fast as when it was inside my Desktop machine.

Thanks, will have a look at those too, just setting the laptop up at the mo. Bit of a pain transfering and installing everything over, still keeps me out of mischief
