Yeah I have multiple external drives....most do not need a power source, they run off a USB connection. They sometimes
sell tiny enclosures for $7 bucks, that allow you to stick any kind of drive inside and then connect via USB to any computer.
I have salvaged Laptops this way, and been able to make use of any scrapped HD.....Always make back ups of your data, and
try to store anything you put on your computer in a DATA folder (so you know what is yours apart from OS) I even go as far as
installing everything in an APPLICATIONS folder....so I know what I installed (and keep the installers on a separate drive not on
CD)
Like you really wanted to hear all this ?? My next post will be all about palindromes....my favorite is RACECAR...:)
