I’ve started to search for a new mobile phone. Doing this will take awhile. So I’ve made a list and I’ll be posting some phones and services that will be in the running to be my phone provider.

Sad that everyone has to do this because of crazy mobile phone contracts and bad services.

Whenever you buy a new computer or upgrade your hard drive on your old computer. It’s good to buy a enclosure to transfer your old files. Most people think it’s hard to do but it’s easy for anyone to do.

1. What type of old Hard Drive do you have? It’s IDE or SATA.

IDE Hard Drive

Sata Hard Drive

2. How are you going to use the Enclosure? One time thing or as a backup?

One time meaning just to get your files then return the enclosure for your money back. Or using it as a backup solution. Which is a good idea for everyone. If you go the backup route then I would say use Comodo BackUp.

3. What is a good enclosure?

This depends on how you use it. If it’s for a long period of time on. Then one with a big fan or cooling solution. I try to look a the reviews before I buy. If you find one you like. Search different site on reviews. Make sure you get at least 4 different review sites. Example. Cnet.com,PCmag.com,Newegg.com, and tomshardware.com

4. Where are some good deals?

I normally go to Pricewatch.com or Newegg.com. These are sites I’ve shopped on before so I know I’m getting a good deal. The other sites I listed were just for reviews. Most of the time there selection is not as good or even close to Newegg.com.

Final Note:
This is just an overview of what to look for in enclosures. I know there is more information out there. But I just wanted to cover the basic’s. Most people I know use them to back up personal media. Not for business. If you have any question please post a comment.
